Looking for a library to handle PDF import/export etc.. preferably written with PB in mind (but whatever). Searching "PDF" on here returns no results but I know there are some out there.

So.. what are my options?

I believe that happen because "pdf" is too short and it's not considered.

Try this way: http://www.google.it/search?as_q=pdf&as ... ebasic.com

For complete PDF freedom, I recommend you the QuickPDF library: http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/

It allows you to do nearly everything with PDF documents. It is a DLL that can get used directly with PureBasic. But it costs about 250,- EUR... Imho, If you want to use it in a commercial application, and if you need more than creating a simple PDF document, it is definitely worth every cent.

My personal favorite way to search the forums. I really hate the three letter thing :D

If you are looking to create PDF files I use GhostScript with a Postscript Printer driver. I send the job to the printer and specify that it should be printed to a file and then pass the file to Ghostscript and I get a PDF file. Ghostscript is free and there are many free Postscript printer drivers.
