How can I create a PDF file programmatically with C?

+4 A:

The Haru library, on sourceforge. We have had good experience with it.

There's libHaru and PDFlib.

Oops, didn't see that the Haru library was already suggested!

Good that you provided the link. Other people also seem to like libHaru.

PoDoFo is a good option. Here is a discussion listing libraries for C/C++ languages.

Unfortunately, PoDoFo is C++. The question was for a C library

A:

Yes, you can use C++ or C or any text processing language to create PDF files. The preferred method is to go to Adobe PDF Website and get a book or the specification for the latest version of PDF. They own the language, so they are the official starting place.

They do not own the PDF specification, it is an ISO standard, and anyone and everyone is allowed to use it.
