This project requires native code to be written to convert an arbitrary text with "\n" or "\r\n" line endings into a simple PDF file. Native means a C/C++ source code is required which makes it all without using platform specific (or PDF specific) libraries. C Standard Library is of course allowed (if required at all). Basically the required code can be regarded a one single function like this (prototype):
text2pdf (textFile, pdfFile, encoding, pageFormat, textFrame, fontFace, fontSize, fontColor)
- textFile is the name or handle (doesn't matter) for the source text file
- pdfFile is the name or handle (doesn't matter) for the PDF file to be generated
- encoding specifies the character encoding the text file uses
- pageFormat and textFrame: prototypes required to control page format and the borders (default is A4 format with a 20mm border)
- fontFace, fontSize, fontColor are required to be definable. But they are specified in the PDF to control face, size and color, but no embedding of fonts is required!
- additional specifications for the document (view when opening) would be an additional plus, but are not required.
The resulting file must be generally compatible with any PDF viewer. The function to be developed should be able to take care of line wraps and page wraps, meaning no characters should be lost or cut. The function prototype above is just to explain the requirements. The solution should be a function or class with just that functionality, but the exact number of parameters or how they are passed may vary as to the abilities provided and the final implementation (a solution in C++ may be different from a solution in C).
Attached is an PDF example from this project description as a text source, showing a result with font "Courier", font size "16pt" and font color "black". Additional taking care of words not to be split, removong leading spaces after a line wrap and converting tabs would be a plus.
I am very proficient in c, c++. I have 15 years c++ developing experience now, and I have worked for 5 years. My work is online game developing, and mainly focus on server side, the lauguage is c++ under linux os. So, programming in c++ is never a problem. I used c++ to make many great projects, for example, I made the tools which can convert java files to c++ with the same meaning, ofcourse garbage collection included. I made our own mobile game using c++, I even can show you the demo of client. Trust me, please let expert help you.

Hello!
I'm experienced developer, ready to start working on your job and provide solution as soon as possible.
Can I use any libraries, if they're crossplatform? What licenses (LGPL, BSD) suitable for you?
With respect, Dmitry.
Hello ,
I am a senior in sql database administration and in linux administaraion . I am a senior in develloppemnt in php,perl , and in other language .
I can work on your project .
On wich platform the C will be use ?
I wrote app that can do that but it's written in Delphi.
It can do all what You specified.
I can compile it in dll and then You can use it.
If that's ok, please contact me.
