Library
From GNUpdf
From the Statement of Purpose:
The GNU PDF Library provides functions to read and write PDF documents conforming to the PDF 1.7 specification. This includes visualization (retrieving of bitmaps with rasterized page contents) and interactive features such as annotations and interactive forms. The library also support the generation of specific subsets of PDF conforming to the ISO standards PDF/A, PDF/X and ISO 32000.
If you are interested in the current status of the development you can take a look to the Roadmap. If you are a programmer please consider to collaborate in the development. We are also looking for monetary resources that would allow us to hire developers and thus be able to complete the requirements of the project as soon as possible.
