PDFNet SDK for C++

PDFNet SDK is an industry-strength PDF library that provides you with numerous components for writing standalone, cross-platform and commercial tools that enable you to manage PDF documents. In other words, the set of components allows you to create applications that can read, write, generate, print, edit and convert PDF files. According to the developer, the documents created with the apps generated from the library are compatible with all versions of PDF specifications, including ISO32000.

It is important to note that during the trial period, the application needs to read and write access to the registry. The requirement is very likely to be needed when you run the application in an environment that requires elevated permissions, such as in the case of a Windows service or a server tool, for example. A simple way to get over the elevated permissions prerequisite entails running the library on an IIS server and changing the Application Pool's identity to a User Account that provides the aforementioned access to the registry.

Within the archive, you can find numerous samples to get you started along with an extra tool, CosEdit. The later tool utility can come in handy when you want to preview the actual content and structure of a PDF document.
