5. CONTRIBUTIONS

If you want to contribute to this project, it is required, that you (contributor) fill and digitally sign document Contributor License Agreement, because I want to have a freedom to do whatever I want with my library, without obligation to someone else. But I would strongly prefer, if you want to contribute, to contribute in a form of testing, consultation, giving advices etc. I would like to write this library entirely by myself.

6. COMPILING

To compile this project, Visual Studio 2019 is needed. Only Microsoft Windows is supported at this time. You must also have all of above libraries in order to compile the project. Software uses Qt 5.14.2.

Compilation instructions:

  1. Download Qt 5.14.2
  2. Download precompiled libraries, or compile them yourself. Libraries must be in same root directory as this project, so root folder of this project will have a sibling folder with these libraries
  3. Open Qt Creator and root project Pdf4Qt.pro
  4. Create target for Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 and compile the project

7. DISCLAIMER

I wrote this project in my free time. I hope you will find it useful!
