We support a variety of output file formats, including PDF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, RTF, HTML, Markdown, PDF, PNG, JPG, TIFF, WPS, TXT and many more. Install Aspose.Words for C++ Add a library reference (import the library) to your C++ project Create a new PDF document Call the Save() method, passing the file name Get the result as a separate file

Does your C++ library support making PDF programmatically?

Our C++ library allows developers to programmatically make PDF from scratch

How to use API to make PDF?

Just use a code example in C++.

Make PDF Using C++

Make PDF in C++ programmatically

With our C++ library developers can easily make PDF from scratch. To do this, C++ developers need to perform just a few steps:

Add file name
Start creating a PDF document using C++
Save the output PDF file

It is worth noting that a blank document is technically supposed to contain one paragraph, so when you programmatically create a PDF document, you will get exactly that basic document structure.

Note that you can instantly add content to a newly created PDF file. Thus, you will get not just an empty document, but a document containing the necessary content. For more information on how to edit a document, see the Editing page.
