And Steve has a PDF editor somewhere too. Support QB64 coders over foreigners LOL
Wait...whaaaaa ??? "Steve has a PDF editor somewhere too. Support QB64 coders...". Written in QB64? I scoured the forums and could not find this. If you have a link I need this soooo bad! Even if it is only to read the PDF I can use that !!!

Well I distinctly remember a PDF Editor from somewhen way back. I think for sure his old ProBoards forum.
i just scanned his Prolific Programmers corner and search no luck here???
@SmcNeill did you misplace or lose it, am I mistaken about this? I sure hate to tease dano, he might book me for false claims.

I had one, but a nice fellow paid me for it. I don't think it'd be right for me to share the source for it anymore, since they paid for rights to it.

Oh wow! someone actually got paid for a Basic program whoo hu!
But if you were giving it away for free before? hmm... I will check my old files again, maybe....

I've sold a few different QB64 things over the years. The local historical society had me implement my QBDbase work for them, so they could go from manual document searches to automated searches. It's got to be the project I've made the most $$$ from, with BASIC at the heart of it. It's also why I haven't shared that QBDbase library anymore. I guess I'm just funny -- as they never mentioned anything like exclusive rights to anything -- but I just don't feel right sharing what somebody else has already paid dang good money for.
Guess that's why I'm a Farmer and not a Software Mogul! LOL!

I completely understand and I respect you very much for that as well.
RE: Program for editing PDF files - bplus - 11-08-2023
Well key to building an editor is looking up it's header file format. It does help having used PDF often so you know what it is supposed to do and that you coded it to do that. Plus you might not need it to do half the things its capable of doing... plus have some practice with binary access. Here is where LB/JB shine with their GUI, that has an Editor control and can do multi-screens.

The format isn't secret. Go dig into the specs. You have the power!
