[gdal-dev] Build GDAL PDF Driver with PDFium

[Parveen Sharma]

Thanks

What about the PDFium git repo which I mentioned? Do I need to build PDFium using that git repo only?

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,

Hello

I am trying to build from GDAL from source using v3.9.3 tag

I plan to use "PDFium" library for building GDAL PDF Dynamic driver and have below 3 questions


Ques 1) Are below a right combination of CMAKE options?

<arg value="-DGDAL_ENABLE_DRIVER_PDF=ON"/>
<arg value="-DGDAL_USE_POPPLER=OFF"/>
<arg value="-DGDAL_USE_PDFIUM=ON"/>
<arg value="-DGDAL_ENABLE_DRIVER_PDF_PLUGIN=ON"/>


In addition I will set option PDFIUM_INCLUDE_DIR to point to Path to an include directory with the ``public/fpdfview.h`` header file and option PDFIUM_LIBRARY to point to

Path to a shared or static library file.

Ques 2) Should I be building PDFium from the "master" branch of below fork by Even Rouault to work with GDAL v3.9.3 ?

https://github.com/rouault/pdfium_build_gdal_3_1

Ques 3) If the answer to (2) point is yes, then can I use above branch for both Windows and Linux?

Please suggest and assist.

Best Regards
Parveen
