Benefits

Zarvan PDF Library offers a number of simple objects that can be used to create and manipulate PDF documents. PDF is an Internet-friendly platform-independent file format. It is particularly useful as a wrapper for multi-page image files.

Zarvan PDF Library can be used to customize documents on per user basis in real time. For example, certain text or graphics may be inserted into documents before distribution to end users. Using the graphics primitives, it is also possible to generate custom tables, charts and graphs.

Large PDF documents can be easily split into a number of smaller documents, pages be duplicated or deleted and images imported as new PDF pages.

Existing PDF documents as well as scanned TIFF images can be regenerated with options to compress embedded images with JBIG2 or JPEG2000, compress content streams, add security and create a Web optimized final document. The end result could be substantial savings in storage costs and documents that are more efficient for distribution or on-line access.

The PDF Library also enables batch optimization of existing document collections in a server environment.

Sample Code

To illustrate the programming model and some of the functions available within the Zarvan PDF Library, we have created a simple C++ program that generates the Zarvan logo inside a PDF file. The Zarvan logo consists of two non-centric rotated ellipses and an overlapping text string.

The annotated source code for the sample program is available here.

When the program is compiled and executed, it creates a PDF file which is available here.
