How to read PDF documents
-
Thanks. I should have realized this after I couldn't find any article on CP. CP is the best programming resource I have used.
Don't listen to these guys, they are all making fun of you. Acrobat Reader is actually written with Microsoft Macro Assembler, that's why it's so fast and has such a small footprint, especially the latest version (8). So, to ensure maximum compatibilty, get yourself a copy of MASM 6.15 (it's free!!) and start programming!

I would like to write a win32 application in C++ to read a PDF document. Is this possible?
a) is reading a document a Turing-complete task? b) is C++ a Turing-complete language? yes & yes = yes

I want to cry.
Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )

Your best bet is to buy a library from someone. This one works[^]

Possible is not probable. :)

Look on the bright side, a pdf reader is unlikely to be related to a nuclear power plant control system ... it could be sooo much worse!
I'm largely language agnostic
After a while they all bug me :doh:
Except... maybe he needs to build a pdf reader in order to open the instructions on how to build a nuclear power plant control system... :omg:

I like how the specifications are in pdf format :)

d) my kid sister, if I had one, would be bored by the true answer, therefore it cannot be printed in the lounge. Kid sisters rarely go to the C++ forum, making the C++ forum a good place to ask boring C++ questions.... e) If any of us answer a C++ question in the lounge, Trollslayer would test out a double bladed axe on us.... If she weren't so nice about it, I would think that would qualify her as an honorary kid-sister from my family. ;)

I hate to disappoint you, but you are not crazy enough to be a member of my family. :) My family did like sharp objects!

My mother had bi-polar disorder (also known as multi-personality disorder) and my father was an alcoholic. My paternal grandmother was treated with shock therapy. My aunt on my mother's side has spent a number of years in a mental facility because of trying to kill herself. Is that good enough? ;P

now if she had spent time for trying to kill someone else, then she'd fit in my family. :) My great-grandfather tried to kill a tax collector, my brother still defends the right to kill me even as an adult. My aunt has been in and out of mental facilities for years. My mother, she just repeats our family is normal and why don't I obey my brother?
