Re: [pdf-devel] An interesting PDF free library

[jemarch]

   While reading a bit about Scribus I have found a free software PDF library
   which I think that we have not taken into account: PoDoFo
   (http://podofo.sourceforge.net/index.html)

   I don't know if it is very useful for us becouse our goals are probably a
   bit wider, but at least it is insteresting to have some reference point.

Interesting. It seems to have a stream abstraction, support for all
filters but the graphics-only ones (JBIG2, fax, ...), a lexer and a
parser, the document catalog, some support for fonts, support for the
rc4 encryption algorithm (but not AES), and a rasterizer.

Since it is licensed with LGPL, we would be able to reuse code from it
if needed.
