Hi

I have an application built on PowerBuilder. I need to process PDF files from within this application. My requirements are:

  • Merge PDF documents
  • Add/Remove/Insert pages to an existing PDF documents

Are there PDF libraries available? I have heard of PoDoFo, will it serve this purpose?

Are there any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Just one final question on this topic.

When I build the EXE (application runtime), do I just copy pdflib.dll for the PDF functions to work? Or is there any other libraries do i need?
