Hi, Great that you made it!
What kind of PdfParsing do you need excactly, i.e. what to you want to do with
the parsed PDF at the end? I can give you more accurate suggestions if I know
what you need
I think it is best to start by using PdfMemDocument. PdfMemDocument will load
a PDF file into memory (objects are loaded in demand from the harddisk - so
don't worry that we will use to much memory) and you can still create pages
there and draw on them etc.. . You can also work on the PDF objects directly
and read information from them (see PdfMemDocument::GetObjects()) if you need
it.
best regards,
Dom
