[gdal-dev] Build GDAL PDF Driver with PDFium

[David Klaus]

Parveen,

A couple of years ago my company used the following options to generate a
GDAL PDF dynamic driver for GDAL 3.7.0:

-DGDAL_ENABLE_DRIVER_PDF_PLUGIN=ON
-DGDAL_USE_PDFIUM=ON
-DPDFIUM_INCLUDE_DIR="%~dp0ExtractPDFium\install\include\pdfium"
-DPDFIUM_LIBRARY="%~dp0ExtractPDFium\install\lib\pdfium.lib"

Obviously the include directory and library paths will depend on your
specific folder structure, so you might need to adjust those on your
system. But we were successful in building 3.7.0 with GDAL PDF via dll
using these options and perhaps they will work for you as well. Hopefully
this reply is helpful to you. Best of luck,
