PoDoFo is a library to work with the PDF file format and includes also a few tools. The name comes from the first letter of PDF (Portable Document Format).

The PoDoFo library is a free portable C++ library which includes classes to parse a PDF file and modify its contents into memory. The changes can be written back to disk easily. PoDoFo does not currently provide any rendering facility but the parser could be used to write a PDF viewer. Besides parsing PoDoFo includes also very simple classes to create your own PDF files. All classes are documented so it is easy to start writing your own application using PoDoFo.

As of now PoDoFo is available for Unix, Mac OS X and Windows platforms.
