.SH NAME
pdfio \- pdf read/write library
.SH Introduction
.PP
PDFio is a simple C library for reading and writing PDF files. The primary goals of pdfio are:
.IP \(bu 5
.PP
Read any PDF file with or without encryption or linearization

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
Write PDF files without encryption or linearization

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
Extract or embed useful metadata (author, creator, page information, etc.)

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
"Filter" PDF files, for example to extract a range of pages or to embed fonts that are missing from a PDF

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
Provide access to objects used for each page


.PP
PDFio is
.I not
 concerned with rendering or viewing a PDF file, although a PDF RIP or viewer could be written using it.
.PP

.SS Requirements
.PP
PDFio requires the following to build the software:
.IP \(bu 5
.PP
A C99 compiler such as Clang, GCC, or MS Visual C

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
A POSIX\-compliant make program

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
ZLIB (https://www.zlib.net) 1.0 or higher


.PP
IDE files for Xcode (macOS/iOS) and Visual Studio (Windows) are also provided.
.SS Installing pdfio
.PP
PDFio comes with a portable makefile that will work on any POSIX\-compliant system with ZLIB installed. To make it, run:
.nf

    make all
.fi
.PP
To test it, run:
.nf

    make test
.fi
.PP
To install it, run:
.nf

    make install
.fi
.PP
If you want a shared library, run:
.nf

    make all\-shared
    make install\-shared
.fi
.PP
The default installation location is "/usr/local". Pass the prefix variable to make to install it to another location:
.nf

    make install prefix=/some/other/directory
.fi
.PP
The makefile installs the pdfio header to "${prefix}/include", the library to "${prefix}/lib", the pkg\-config file to "${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig", the man page to "${prefix}/share/man/man3", and the documentation to "${prefix}/share/doc/pdfio".
.PP
The makefile supports the following variables that can be specified in the make command or as environment variables:
.IP \(bu 5
.PP
AR: the library archiver (default "ar")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
ARFLAGS: options for the library archiver (default "cr")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
CC: the C compiler (default "cc")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
CFLAGS: options for the C compiler (default "")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
CODESIGN_IDENTITY: the identity to use when code signing the shared library on macOS (default "Developer ID")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
COMMONFLAGS: options for the C compiler and linker (typically architecture and optimization options, default is "\-Os \-g")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
CPPFLAGS: options for the C preprocessor (default "")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
DESTDIR" and "DSTROOT: specifies a root directory when installing (default is "", specify only one)

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
DSOFLAGS: options for the C compiler when linking the shared library (default "")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
LDFLAGS: options for the C compiler when linking the test programs (default "")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
LIBS: library options when linking the test programs (default "\-lz")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
RANLIB: program that generates a table\-of\-contents in a library (default "ranlib")

.IP \(bu 5
.PP
prefix: specifies the installation directory (default "/usr/local")


.SS Visual Studio Project
.PP
Note: I haven't yet added this...

.PP
The Visual Studio solution ("pdfio.sln") is provided for Windows developers generates both a static library and DLL.
.SS Xcode Project
.PP
There is also an Xcode project ("pdfio.xcodeproj") you can use on macOS which generates a static library that will be installed under "/usr/local" with:
.nf

    sudo xcodebuild install
.fi
.PP
You can reproduce this with the makefile using:
.nf

    sudo make 'COMMONFLAGS="\-Os \-mmacosx\-version\-min=10.14 \-arch x86_64 \-arch arm64"' install
.fi
.SS Detecting PDFio
.PP
PDFio can be detected using the pkg\-config command, for example:
.nf

    if pkg\-config \-\-exists pdfio; then
        ... 
    fi
.fi
.PP
In a makefile you can add the necessary compiler and linker options with:
.nf

    CFLAGS  +=      `pkg\-config \-\-cflags pdfio`
    LIBS    +=      `pkg\-config \-\-libs pdfio`
.fi
.SS Header Files
.PP
PDFio provides a primary header file that is always used:
.nf

    #include <pdfio.h>
.fi
.PP
PDFio also provides content helper functions that are defined in a separate header file:
.nf

    #include <pdfio\-content.h>
.fi
.SH API Overview
