See INSTALL for instructions on how to install libHaru.

*
* What is Haru Free PDF Library?
*
Haru is a free, cross platform, open-sourced software library for generating 
PDF. It supports the following features.

   1. Generating PDF files with lines, text, images.
   2. Outline, text annotation, link annotation.
   3. Compressing document with deflate-decode.
   4. Embedding PNG, Jpeg images.
   5. Embedding Type1 font and TrueType font.
   6. Creating encrypted PDF files.
   7. Using various character set (ISO8859-1~16, MSCP1250~8, KOI8-R).
   8. Supporting CJK fonts and encodings.

You can add the feature of PDF creation by using Haru without understanding 
complicated internal structure of PDF.

*
* The differences from the previous version 
*

The biggest differences are that all code is written in C. 
To our regret, because internal structures changed greatly, The API is not 
compatible with previous version.

However, the new-version has the following advantages compared with the 
previous version.

 1. Supported shared-library build.
    A new-version library is able to be built as shared-library.
 2. The performance has been greatly improved.
    A new-version library is about 4-15 times faster than a previous version. 
 3. Supported more features.
    TrueType font, 128 bit encryption, arc function, and so on.

*
* Supporting platforms
*
Haru is written in ANSI-C and should compile easily with any compliant C 
compiler.
I inspected Haru in the following environment and make files for these 
environments are included in a package.

   1. Cygwin + GCC (Microsoft Windows)
   2. Cygwin + MinGW (Microsoft Windows)
   3. MSYS + MinGW (Microsoft Windows)
   3. Microsoft VC++ (Microsoft Windows)
   4. Borland C++ (Microsoft Windows)
   5. GCC (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris...)

Also on platforms except the above, it is easy to build HARU. If you success to
build HARU on other platforms, please send makefile to me. In addition, ZLIB
and PNGLIB are required when you want to use the features of compression and
embedding PNG images. (In the case of Windows, static library files for several
compilers are included in the package for WIndows.  In the case of  most of
UNIX, these libraries are usually installed.)

*
* Available development environment
*
Haru can work as both static-library (.a, .lib) and shared-library (.so, .dll).
When you use it as static-library, It can be used by C and a C++.
But when you use it as shared-library, it can be used by many development 
languages which support shared library.
So far, Haru provides bindings for Ruby, Delphi/Free Pascal and C#.

If you write bindings for other programing languages, please notice me!

*
* Runtime environment of programs using Haru
*
1. static-library
   No runtime files are required.

2. shared-library
   In Windows, you have to distribute libhpdf.dll with a program. In UNIX you 
   have to distribute libhpdf.so* with a program.



NOTE:
In the UNIX environment, there are the cases that libz.so, libpng.so.x are 
necessary. About this, please refer to the documentation of PNGLIB and ZLIB.

*
* License
*
Haru is distributed under the ZLIB/LIBPNG License. Because ZLIB/LIBPNG License 
is one of the freest licenses, You can use Haru for various purposes.

The license of Haru is as follows.
