I haven't looked at PoDoFo in a while, but I believe there is a conditional
already present for compiling in FreeType or not - and if not, it should be
easy enough to add one. Just pull that stuff out of the build and you can use
the rest of it - it's only used for a VERY SMALL portion of the entire library.
Might be a worthwhile conditionalization anyway - sort of a "NO_CREATION"
option for folks who only want to parse and modify at the lowest levels.
And if you need any beta testers for iOS-based PDF solutions - count me in!

I'd like to do a very simple thing in fact: parse in an existing PDF, add some
annotations to it with PoDoFo whilst it's in memory, and export the PDF into a
file. As in, the existing document should be unmodified, but I simply add
annotations in certain positions in the document. I don't need any of the font
metric stuff, but I thought it would be necessary as PdfFontMetrics.h is
imported in lots of places.

How much of Poppler do you need? Could you simply comment out the support for
FreeType and still use all the other parts or are you using the text features
in Poppler?

system?
Hi there
I've tried unsuccessfully to compile PoDoFo for the iPhone SDK. Looks like this
is due to problems with font loading in PdfFontMetrics.cpp. More specifically,
some Carbon legacy specific file reference structs are used (FSSpec -- easy to
replace), as well as the ATS font system. ATSFont.h is unfortunately not
available in the iPhone SDK (not on the device anyways -- it is on the
simulator). Leonard was suggesting in an earlier discussion (*) that he could
help with cleaning up the font code. Is the offer still on? :-) I'm all up for
suggestions on how to replace references to ATSFont.h with those defined in
CTFont.h (CoreText.framework) which is now supplied with the iPhone SDK 4.x.
Best wishes
Matias
