vPDF
A V module for creating PDF files with both low-level control and high-level convenience.
Overview
vPDF is a library for the V programming language that simplifies the creation of PDF documents. It provides a structured approach to generating PDFs, making it accessible for both beginners and those needing fine-grained control over the PDF format.
Key Features
Dual-Layer Architecture — Offers a low-level layer for direct PDF manipulation and a high-level layer with simplified functions, requiring no prior PDF format knowledge.
Text and Font Support — Includes functions for drawing text with support for standard Type1 fonts, text alignment, and text box formatting for multi-column layouts.
Image Integration — Allows embedding JPEG images into PDF pages with automatic resource management and object indexing.
Page Management — Provides utilities for creating pages with configurable parameters like format (e.g., A4), compression, and unit scaling (e.g., millimeters).
Resource Handling — Automatically manages internal PDF objects for fonts and images, reducing the manual overhead of tracking references.
Philosophy
vPDF is designed to abstract the complexities of the PDF specification while retaining the flexibility for advanced users to work directly with the raw format when needed.
