OpenOffice PDF Export Library

问题

I am looking for a library which will allow me to render text and graphics output onto a PDF document. (Cairo is certainly an option.) I would like to know how OpenOffice writes PDF files to see if I could use the same library. What library is being used by OpenOffice for PDF export?

Edit: I am looking for a C or C++ library.

I looked everywhere to find out how to export any document to PDF using OpenOffice. I finally found a buried post in the OpenOffice forums that got me 90% there. Here is my 100% solution. Works with OpenOffice 3.1. You must install OpenOffice to use this code. You must include references to cli_basetypes, cli_cppuhelper, cli_oootypes, cli_ure, cli_uretypes. These dll references are found in the OpenOffice SDK. Sorry, but this is in C#.. not C/C++. HTH someone.

回答2:

What language are you working in? There are many PDF libraries out there. Search Stack Overflow for "pdf library [programming language]". There's tons of recommendations already.

OpenOffice uses the Sun PDF library as an extension to import PDFs, but I'm not sure what it uses to export them.

PDFCreator has an API that can help you.
