Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
PDFio is a simple C library for reading and writing PDF files. The primary
|
|
goals of pdfio are:
|
|
|
|
- Read and write any version of PDF file
|
|
- Provide access to pages, objects, and streams within a PDF file
|
|
- Support reading and writing of encrypted PDF files
|
|
- Extract or embed useful metadata (author, creator, page information, etc.)
|
|
- "Filter" PDF files, for example to extract a range of pages or to embed fonts
|
|
that are missing from a PDF
|
|
- Provide access to objects used for each page
|
|
|
|
PDFio is *not* concerned with rendering or viewing a PDF file, although a PDF
|
|
RIP or viewer could be written using it.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
PDFio requires the following to build the software:
|
|
|
|
- A C99 compiler such as Clang, GCC, or MS Visual C
|
|
- A POSIX-compliant `make` program
|
|
- A POSIX-compliant `sh` program
|
|
- ZLIB (<https://www.zlib.net>) 1.0 or higher
|
|
|
|
IDE files for Xcode (macOS/iOS) and Visual Studio (Windows) are also provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing pdfio
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
PDFio comes with a configure script that creates a portable makefile that will
|
|
work on any POSIX-compliant system with ZLIB installed. To make it, run:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
To test it, run:
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
To install it, run:
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
If you want a shared library, run:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-shared
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
The default installation location is "/usr/local". Pass the `--prefix` option
|
|
to make to install it to another location:
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/some/other/directory
|
|
|
|
Other configure options can be found using the `--help` option:
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio Project
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The Visual Studio solution ("pdfio.sln") is provided for Windows developers and
|
|
generates both a static library and DLL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Xcode Project
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
sudo xcodebuild install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detecting PDFio
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
PDFio can be detected using the `pkg-config` command, for example:
|
|
|
|
if pkg-config --exists pdfio; then
|
|
...
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
In a makefile you can add the necessary compiler and linker options with:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
CFLAGS += `pkg-config --cflags pdfio`
|
|
LIBS += `pkg-config --libs pdfio`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Windows, you need to link to the `PDFIO1.LIB` (DLL) library and include the
|
|
`zlib_native` NuGet package dependency. You can also use the published
|
|
`pdfio_native` NuGet package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Header Files
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
PDFio provides a primary header file that is always used:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#include <pdfio.h>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
PDFio also provides [PDF content helper functions](@) for producing PDF content
|
|
that are defined in a separate header file:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#include <pdfio-content.h>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
API Overview
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
PDFio exposes several types:
|
|
|
|
- `pdfio_file_t`: A PDF file (for reading or writing)
|
|
- `pdfio_array_t`: An array of values
|
|
- `pdfio_dict_t`: A dictionary of key/value pairs in a PDF file, object, etc.
|
|
- `pdfio_obj_t`: An object in a PDF file
|
|
- `pdfio_stream_t`: An object stream
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reading PDF Files
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
You open an existing PDF file using the [`pdfioFileOpen`](@@) function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileOpen("myinputfile.pdf", password_cb, password_data,
|
|
error_cb, error_data);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where the five arguments to the function are the filename ("myinputfile.pdf"),
|
|
an optional password callback function (`password_cb`) and data pointer value
|
|
(`password_data`), and an optional error callback function (`error_cb`) and data
|
|
pointer value (`error_data`). The password callback is called for encrypted PDF
|
|
files that are not using the default password, for example:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
const char *
|
|
password_cb(void *data, const char *filename)
|
|
{
|
|
(void)data; // This callback doesn't use the data pointer
|
|
(void)filename; // This callback doesn't use the filename
|
|
|
|
// Return a password string for the file...
|
|
return ("Password42");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The error callback is called for both errors and warnings and accepts the
|
|
`pdfio_file_t` pointer, a message string, and the callback pointer value, for
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
bool
|
|
error_cb(pdfio_file_t *pdf, const char *message, void *data)
|
|
{
|
|
(void)data; // This callback does not use the data pointer
|
|
|
|
fprintf(stderr, "%s: %s\n", pdfioFileGetName(pdf), message);
|
|
|
|
// Return false to treat warnings as errors
|
|
return (false);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The default error callback (`NULL`) does the equivalent of the above.
|
|
|
|
Each PDF file contains one or more pages. The [`pdfioFileGetNumPages`](@@)
|
|
function returns the number of pages in the file while the
|
|
[`pdfioFileGetPage`](@@) function gets the specified page in the PDF file:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf; // PDF file
|
|
size_t i; // Looping var
|
|
size_t count; // Number of pages
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *page; // Current page
|
|
|
|
// Iterate the pages in the PDF file
|
|
for (i = 0, count = pdfioFileGetNumPages(pdf); i < count; i ++)
|
|
{
|
|
page = pdfioFileGetPage(pdf, i);
|
|
// do something with page
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each page is represented by a "page tree" object (what [`pdfioFileGetPage`](@@)
|
|
returns) that specifies information about the page and one or more "content"
|
|
objects that contain the images, fonts, text, and graphics that appear on the
|
|
page. Use the [`pdfioPageGetNumStreams`](@@) and [`pdfioPageOpenStream`](@@)
|
|
functions to access the content streams for each page.
|
|
|
|
The [`pdfioFileClose`](@@) function closes a PDF file and frees all memory that
|
|
was used for it:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfioFileClose(pdf);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing PDF Files
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
You create a new PDF file using the [`pdfioFileCreate`](@@) function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_rect_t media_box = { 0.0, 0.0, 612.0, 792.0 }; // US Letter
|
|
pdfio_rect_t crop_box = { 36.0, 36.0, 576.0, 756.0 }; // w/0.5" margins
|
|
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate("myoutputfile.pdf", "2.0", &media_box, &crop_box, error_cb, error_data);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where the six arguments to the function are the filename ("myoutputfile.pdf"),
|
|
PDF version ("2.0"), media box (`media_box`), crop box (`crop_box`), an optional
|
|
error callback function (`error_cb`), and an optional pointer value for the
|
|
error callback function (`error_data`). The units for the media and crop boxes
|
|
are points (1/72nd of an inch).
|
|
|
|
Alternately you can stream a PDF file using the [`pdfioFileCreateOutput`](@@)
|
|
function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_rect_t media_box = { 0.0, 0.0, 612.0, 792.0 }; // US Letter
|
|
pdfio_rect_t crop_box = { 36.0, 36.0, 576.0, 756.0 }; // w/0.5" margins
|
|
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreateOutput(output_cb, output_ctx, "2.0", &media_box, &crop_box, error_cb, error_data);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the file is created, use the [`pdfioFileCreateObj`](@@),
|
|
[`pdfioFileCreatePage`](@@), and [`pdfioPageCopy`](@@) functions to create
|
|
objects and pages in the file.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the [`pdfioFileClose`](@@) function writes the PDF cross-reference and
|
|
"trailer" information, closes the file, and frees all memory that was used for
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PDF Objects
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
PDF objects are identified using two numbers - the object number (1 to N) and
|
|
the object generation (0 to 65535) that specifies a particular version of an
|
|
object. An object's numbers are returned by the [`pdfioObjGetNumber`](@@) and
|
|
[`pdfioObjGetGeneration`](@@) functions. You can find a numbered object using
|
|
the [`pdfioFileFindObj`](@@) function.
|
|
|
|
Objects contain values (typically dictionaries) and usually an associated data
|
|
stream containing images, fonts, ICC profiles, and page content. PDFio provides several accessor functions to get the value(s) associated with an object:
|
|
|
|
- [`pdfioObjGetArray`](@@) returns an object's array value, if any
|
|
- [`pdfioObjGetDict`](@@) returns an object's dictionary value, if any
|
|
- [`pdfioObjGetLength`](@@) returns the length of the data stream, if any
|
|
- [`pdfioObjGetSubtype`](@@) returns the sub-type name of the object, for
|
|
example "Image" for an image object.
|
|
- [`pdfioObjGetType`](@@) returns the type name of the object, for example
|
|
"XObject" for an image object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PDF Streams
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Some PDF objects have an associated data stream, such as for pages, images, ICC
|
|
color profiles, and fonts. You access the stream for an existing object using
|
|
the [`pdfioObjOpenStream`](@@) function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileOpen(...);
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *obj = pdfioFileFindObj(pdf, number);
|
|
pdfio_stream_t *st = pdfioObjOpenStream(obj, true);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first argument is the object pointer. The second argument is a boolean
|
|
value that specifies whether you want to decode (typically decompress) the
|
|
stream data or return it as-is.
|
|
|
|
When reading a page stream you'll use the [`pdfioPageOpenStream`](@@) function
|
|
instead:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileOpen(...);
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *obj = pdfioFileGetPage(pdf, number);
|
|
pdfio_stream_t *st = pdfioPageOpenStream(obj, 0, true);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you have the stream open, you can use one of several functions to read
|
|
from it:
|
|
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamConsume`](@@) reads and discards a number of bytes in the stream
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamGetToken`](@@) reads a PDF token from the stream
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamPeek`](@@) peeks at the next stream data without advancing or
|
|
"consuming" it
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamRead`](@@) reads a buffer of data
|
|
|
|
When you are done reading from the stream, call the [`pdfioStreamClose`](@@)
|
|
function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfioStreamClose(st);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To create a stream for a new object, call the [`pdfioObjCreateStream`](@@)
|
|
function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *obj = pdfioFileCreateObj(pdf, ...);
|
|
pdfio_stream_t *st = pdfioObjCreateStream(obj, PDFIO_FILTER_FLATE);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first argument is the newly created object. The second argument is either
|
|
`PDFIO_FILTER_NONE` to specify that any encoding is done by your program or
|
|
`PDFIO_FILTER_FLATE` to specify that PDFio should Flate compress the stream.
|
|
|
|
To create a page content stream call the [`pdfioFileCreatePage`](@@) function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
pdfio_dict_t *dict = pdfioDictCreate(pdf);
|
|
... set page dictionary keys and values ...
|
|
pdfio_stream_t *st = pdfioFileCreatePage(pdf, dict);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you have created the stream, use any of the following functions to write
|
|
to the stream:
|
|
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamPrintf`](@@) writes a formatted string to the stream
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamPutChar`](@@) writes a single character to the stream
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamPuts`](@@) writes a C string to the stream
|
|
- [`pdfioStreamWrite`](@@) writes a buffer of data to the stream
|
|
|
|
The [PDF content helper functions](@) provide additional functions for writing
|
|
specific PDF page stream commands.
|
|
|
|
When you are done writing the stream, call [`pdfioStreamClose`](@@) to close
|
|
both the stream and the object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PDF Content Helper Functions
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
PDFio includes many helper functions for embedding or writing specific kinds of
|
|
content to a PDF file. These functions can be roughly grouped into five
|
|
categories:
|
|
|
|
- [Color Space Functions](@)
|
|
- [Font Object Functions](@)
|
|
- [Image Object Functions](@)
|
|
- [Page Stream Functions](@)
|
|
- [Page Dictionary Functions](@)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Color Space Functions
|
|
|
|
PDF color spaces are specified using well-known names like "DeviceCMYK",
|
|
"DeviceGray", and "DeviceRGB" or using arrays that define so-called calibrated
|
|
color spaces. PDFio provides several functions for embedding ICC profiles and
|
|
creating color space arrays:
|
|
|
|
- [`pdfioArrayCreateColorFromICCObj`](@@) creates a color array for an ICC color profile object
|
|
- [`pdfioArrayCreateColorFromMatrix`](@@) creates a color array using a CIE XYZ color transform matrix, a gamma value, and a CIE XYZ white point
|
|
- [`pdfioArrayCreateColorFromPalette`](@@) creates an indexed color array from an array of sRGB values
|
|
- [`pdfioArrayCreateColorFromPrimaries`](@@) creates a color array using CIE XYZ primaries and a gamma value
|
|
- [`pdfioArrayCreateColorFromStandard`](@@) creates a color array for a standard color space
|
|
|
|
You can embed an ICC color profile using the
|
|
[`pdfioFileCreateICCObjFromFile`](@@) function:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *icc = pdfioFileCreateICCObjFromFile(pdf, "filename.icc");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where the first argument is the PDF file and the second argument is the filename
|
|
of the ICC color profile.
|
|
|
|
PDFio also includes predefined constants for creating a few standard color
|
|
spaces:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
|
|
// Create an AdobeRGB color array
|
|
pdfio_array_t *adobe_rgb = pdfioArrayCreateColorFromStandard(pdf, 3, PDFIO_CS_ADOBE);
|
|
|
|
// Create an Display P3 color array
|
|
pdfio_array_t *display_p3 = pdfioArrayCreateColorFromStandard(pdf, 3, PDFIO_CS_P3_D65);
|
|
|
|
// Create an sRGB color array
|
|
pdfio_array_t *srgb = pdfioArrayCreateColorFromStandard(pdf, 3, PDFIO_CS_SRGB);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Font Object Functions
|
|
|
|
PDF supports many kinds of fonts, including PostScript Type1, PDF Type3,
|
|
TrueType/OpenType, and CID. PDFio provides two functions for creating font
|
|
objects. The first is [`pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromBase`](@@) which creates a
|
|
font object for one of the base PDF fonts:
|
|
|
|
- "Courier"
|
|
- "Courier-Bold"
|
|
- "Courier-BoldItalic"
|
|
- "Courier-Italic"
|
|
- "Helvetica"
|
|
- "Helvetica-Bold"
|
|
- "Helvetica-BoldOblique"
|
|
- "Helvetica-Oblique"
|
|
- "Symbol"
|
|
- "Times-Bold"
|
|
- "Times-BoldItalic"
|
|
- "Times-Italic"
|
|
- "Times-Roman"
|
|
- "ZapfDingbats"
|
|
|
|
PDFio always uses the Windows CP1252 subset of Unicode for these fonts.
|
|
|
|
The second function is [`pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile`](@@) which creates a
|
|
font object from a TrueType/OpenType font file, for example:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *arial = pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile(pdf, "OpenSans-Regular.ttf", false);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will embed an OpenSans Regular TrueType font using the Windows CP1252 subset of
|
|
Unicode. Pass `true` for the third argument to embed it as a Unicode CID font
|
|
instead, for example:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *arial = pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile(pdf, "NotoSansJP-Regular.otf", true);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will embed the NotoSansJP Regular OpenType font with full support for Unicode.
|
|
|
|
> Note: Not all fonts support Unicode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Image Object Functions
|
|
|
|
PDF supports images with many different color spaces and bit depths with
|
|
optional transparency. PDFio provides two helper functions for creating image
|
|
objects that can be referenced in page streams. The first function is
|
|
[`pdfioFileCreateImageObjFromData`](@@) which creates an image object from data
|
|
in memory, for example:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
unsigned char data[1024 * 1024 * 4]; // 1024x1024 RGBA image data
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *img = pdfioFileCreateImageObjFromData(pdf, data, /*width*/1024, /*height*/1024, /*num_colors*/3, /*color_data*/NULL, /*alpha*/true, /*interpolate*/false);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
will create an object for a 1024x1024 RGBA image in memory, using the default
|
|
color space for 3 colors ("DeviceRGB"). We can use one of the
|
|
[color space functions](@) to use a specific color space for this image, for
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
|
|
// Create an AdobeRGB color array
|
|
pdfio_array_t *adobe_rgb = pdfioArrayCreateColorFromMatrix(pdf, 3, pdfioAdobeRGBGamma, pdfioAdobeRGBMatrix, pdfioAdobeRGBWhitePoint);
|
|
|
|
// Create a 1024x1024 RGBA image using AdobeRGB
|
|
unsigned char data[1024 * 1024 * 4]; // 1024x1024 RGBA image data
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *img = pdfioFileCreateImageObjFromData(pdf, data, /*width*/1024, /*height*/1024, /*num_colors*/3, /*color_data*/adobe_rgb, /*alpha*/true, /*interpolate*/false);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The "interpolate" argument specifies whether the colors in the image should be
|
|
smoothed/interpolated when scaling. This is most useful for photographs but
|
|
should be `false` for screenshot and barcode images.
|
|
|
|
If you have a JPEG or PNG file, use the [`pdfioFileCreateImageObjFromFile`](@@)
|
|
function to copy the image into a PDF image object, for example:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf = pdfioFileCreate(...);
|
|
pdfio_obj_t *img = pdfioFileCreateImageObjFromFile(pdf, "myphoto.jpg", /*interpolate*/true);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Page Dictionary Functions
|
|
|
|
PDF pages each have an associated dictionary to specify the images, fonts, and color spaces used by the page. PDFio provides functions to add these resources
|
|
to the dictionary:
|
|
|
|
- [`pdfioPageDictAddColorSpace`](@@) adds a named color space to the page dictionary
|
|
- [`pdfioPageDictAddFont`](@@) adds a named font to the page dictionary
|
|
- [`pdfioPageDictAddImage`](@@) adds a named image to the page dictionary
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Page Stream Functions
|
|

|
Read PDF Metadata
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The following example function will open a PDF file and print the title, author,
|
|
creation date, and number of pages:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#include <pdfio.h>
|
|
#include <time.h>
|
|
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
show_pdf_info(const char *filename)
|
|
{
|
|
pdfio_file_t *pdf;
|
|
time_t creation_date;
|
|
struct tm *creation_tm;
|
|
char creation_text[256];
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Open the PDF file with the default callbacks...
|
|
pdf = pdfioFileOpen(filename, /*password_cb*/NULL, /*password_cbdata*/NULL, /*error_cb*/NULL, /*error_cbdata*/NULL);
|
|
if (pdf == NULL)
|
|
return;
|
|
|
|
// Get the creation date and convert to a string...
|
|
creation_date = pdfioFileGetCreationDate(pdf);
|
|
creation_tm = localtime(&creation_date);
|
|
strftime(creation_text, sizeof(creation_text), "%c", &creation_tm);
|
|
|
|
// Print file information to stdout...
|
|
printf("%s:\n", filename);
|
|
printf(" Title: %s\n", pdfioFileGetTitle(pdf));
|
|
printf(" Author: %s\n", pdfioFileGetAuthor(pdf));
|
|
printf(" Created On: %s\n", creation_text);
|
|
printf(" Number Pages: %u\n", (unsigned)pdfioFileGetNumPages(pdf));
|
|
|
|
// Close the PDF file...
|
|
pdfioFileClose(pdf);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create PDF File With Text and Image
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following example function will create a PDF file, embed a base font and the
|
|
named JPEG or PNG image file, and then creates a page with the image centered on
|
|
the page with the text centered below:
|
|
|
|
```c
|
|
#include <pdfio.h>
|
|
#include <pdfio-content.h>
|
|
#include <string.h>
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
// Create a Courier base font for the caption
|
|
font = pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromBase(pdf, "Courier");
|
|
|
|
// Create an image object from the JPEG/PNG image file...
|

|
|
{
|
|
sheight = 792.0 - 36.0 - 72.0;
|
|
swidth = sheight * width / height;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
tx = 0.5 * (595.28 - swidth);
|
|
ty = 0.5 * (792 - 36 - sheight);
|
|
|
|
pdfioContentDrawImage(page, "IM1", tx, ty + 36.0, swidth, sheight);
|
|
|
|
// Draw the caption in black...
|
|
pdfioContentSetFillColorDeviceGray(page, 0.0);

// Compute the starting point for the text - Courier is monospaced with a
|
|
// nominal width of 0.6 times the text height...
|
|
tx = 0.5 * (595.28 - 18.0 * 0.6 * strlen(caption));
|
|

|
|
pdfioContentTextShow(page, /*unicode*/false, caption);
|
|
pdfioContentTextEnd(page);
|
|
|
|
// Close the page stream and the PDF file...
|
|
