PDF manipulation C/C++ API needed
Hi guys, is there anything free and preferably cross-platform on the subject?
I found an API on pdfonline [dot] com but it's 30 days trial, if somebody know a good PDF API, please, let me know.
P.S. I need to split the input pdf file into several, in such a way that each of newly created pdf files are actually the pages of the source file.
Many thanks in advance.

See if there is a C++ port of the Java-based itext system. Otherwise, prepare to pay big money.

Thanks Paul, however it is strange why there are lots of free pdf libs in Java, but there isn't any in C++. Well, perhaps I'll have to code in Java, since even Adobe's pdf-dev facility is just an ActiveX control for only viewing and data extraction, for everything else one should buy their SDK.

Thanks, JohnyDog, but they require VC++ 7.x, I have no opportunity to setup anything higher 6.0, besides .dsp/.dsw/.sln files are missing to build the lib, as mentioned in their readme file.

Re: PDF manipulation C/C++ API needed
Have you considered digging through the source of any application that supports saving to PDF?
Also, I did a quick search on sourceforge and found libharu free PDF library. The examples look pretty reasonable to me.
You'll have to let me know if you use it, and if so, what you think of it! (I've always been tempted by this sort of thing.) -- Paul
