CamlPDF

CamlPDF is an OCaml library for reading, writing and modifying PDF files. It is the basis of the commercial "CPDF" command line tool, which is available at http://www.coherentpdf.com/.

To Build

If downloading from Github, obtain the correct source. This means choosing the tag for a particaular version, such as "v2.1.1". The head of the master branch is unstable.

  1. Run "make". This will build camlpdf.a, camlpdf.cma, camlpdf.cmxa and the documentation (in doc/camlpdf/html).

  2. If your environment has "ocamlfind", "make install" will install the library. Otherwise, use the built outputs as you will.

Documentation

The API documentation, which is built by the makefile in doc/camlpdf/html, can also be accessed online at http://www.coherentpdf.com/camlpdf.

The file introduction-to-camlpdf.pdf will help the beginner.

Some level of knowledge of the PDF file format itself, which is large, may be required. The standard texts are the author's book:

and the ISO standard for PDF:

Acknowledgments

The file miniz.c is a (very slightly modified) version of the miniz.c zlib implementation by Rich Geldreich, avalable here:

The files flatestubs.c, pdfflate.ml and pdfflate.mli are a slightly modified version of some parts of CamlZip by Xavier Leroy. The originals are available here:

OCamlMakefile was written by Markus Mottl. It is available here:
