Question:I need to write a program that displays a PDF which a third-party supplies. I need to insert text data in to the form before displaying it to the user. I do have the option to convert the PDF in to another format, but it has to look exactly like the original PDF. C++ is the preferred language of choice, but other languages can be investigated (e.g. C#). It need to work on a Windows desktop machine.What libraries, tools, strategies, or other programming languages do you suggest investigate to accomplish this task? Is there any solution on VeryPDF?
