Creare Pdf via C

Un esempio semplice per la creazione da programma di file PDF. Per questo esempio e' stata usata la libreria Haru che si trova gia' pacchettizza in Debian

apt-get install libhpdf-2.1.0 libhpdf-dev

per la compilazione e' sufficiente il seguente comando
gcc -Wall -O3 -lhpdf test.c test 

Nell'esempio vengono uniti comandi per la creazione di testo e gestione di immagini
