I was able to build the library and the example in console application. I
am now using it in MFC application where I will be using it. I get two link
errors though:
1>PdfMFCDemoDlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public:

PoDoFo::PdfString const &)" (?DrawTextW@PdfPainter@PoDoFo@

I am using helloworld example code to generate the pdf. It is surprising to
me why I get errors for these 2 calls and rest of calls are fine. Any ideas?
Here is the code (exactly same as helloworld code again):
void CPdfMFCDemoDlg::CreateHelloWorldPDF(const char * pszFilename)
{
/*
* PdfStreamedDocument is the class that can actually write a PDF file.
* PdfStreamedDocument is much faster than PdfDocument, but it is only
* suitable for creating/drawing PDF files and cannot modify existing
* PDF documents.

* The document is written directly to pszFilename while being created.
*/
PdfStreamedDocument document( pszFilename );
/*
* PdfPainter is the class which is able to draw text and graphics
* directly on a PdfPage object.

ePdfPageSize_A4 ) );

if( !pPage )

}

painter.SetPage( pPage );

*/

*/
