I am a totally new person to this forum.
So I am sorry if my question sounds silly.

I am in Process of making a project where I have to extract the Created Application name from a PDF File and based on that I have to do some actions.
How can I do that using C++.

Thanks in Advance.

I think your best bet is to use the Adobe PDF developer kit.  Or you
may be able to find some other C++ PDF libraries, but I don't know
of any offhand.  ExifTool can do this, but it is Perl, not C++.

Thanks Phil,
Although this is not in scope of Exif tool but still someone can answer that.
I suppose if we right click on any PDF file and click on properties, there is separate tab for PDF generated by OS with some basic Informations in that. I want something like that. Can you help me out.
