Information about it can be found at +http://qpdf.qbilt.org. + +QPDF is copyright (c) 2005-2008 Jay Berkenbilt + +This software may be distributed under the terms of version 2 of the +Artistic License which may be found in the source distribution as +"Artistic-2.0". It is provided "as is" without express or implied +warranty. + +To install this software, you can run + +./configure +make +make install + +For more detailed information, see the "INSTALL" in this directory. + +The QPDF package provides some executables and a software library. A +user's manual can be found in the "doc" directory. The docbook +sources to the user's manual can be found in the "manual" directory. + +The software library is just libqpdf, and all the header files are in +the qpdf subdirectory. If you link with -lqpdf and your system does +not know how to read libtool .la files, then you will also need to +link with -lpcre and -lz. + +To learn about using the library, please read comments in the header +files in include/qpdf, especially QPDF.hh, QPDFObjectHandle.hh, and +QPDFWriter.hh. You can also study the code of qpdf/qpdf.cc, which +exercises most of the public interface. There are additional example +programs in the examples directory. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
