This code builds two things:
|
|
|
|
a) The CPDF PDF Command Line Tools, which are a popular commercial command line
|
|
tool for editing PDF files.
|
|
|
|
b) cpdf as an OCaml library, for which documentation is here:
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
Prerequisites to build
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The OCaml compiler
|
|
|
|
[http://ocaml.org](http://ocaml.org)
|
|
|
|
The camlpdf library
|
|
|
|
[http://github.com/johnwhitington/camlpdf](http://www.github.com/johnwhitington/camlpdf)
|
|
|
|
The ocamlfind library manager
|
|
|
|
[http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/findlib.html](http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/findlib.html)
|
|
|
|
If you are using the OPAM package manager:
|
|
|
|
[http://opam.ocamlpro.com](http://opam.ocamlpro.com)
|
|
|
|
these can be installed by:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
opam install camlpdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
If downloading from Github, obtain the correct source. This means choosing the
|
|
tag for a particular version, such as "v2.6.1". The head of the master branch
|
|
is unstable.
|
|
|
|
1. Type `make` to make the cpdf executable and the library
|
|
|
|
2. Type `make install` to install the OCaml cpdf library.
|
|
|
|
The `cpdf` executable should be manually placed somewhere suitable.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the library and command-line binary can be installed by
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
opam install cpdf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The file `cpdfmanual.pdf` in this folder is the documentation for the command
|
|
line tools. The documentation for the cpdf OCaml library is in `doc/html/cpdf/`
|
|
in this folder once the library has been built.
|
|
|
|
|
|
