Are you developing a Delphi application with a task to do PDF document manipulations? Portable Document Format, PDF, is a file format created by Adobe for document exchange. While there are many (commercial) Delphi libraries designed to help you create PDF and/or manipulate PDF documents, if you only need to load an existing PDF document, get the information from it (number of pages, security, is it linearized) and even write some information to it (set page size, add text, add graphics), you might want to take a look at the Quick PDF Library Lite version.
OracleClient Data Access Components (OracleClientDAC) is a feature-rich and high-performance library of components that provides native connectivity to Oracle from Delphi.OracleClientDAC-based applications connect to Oracle directly through the ADO.Net OracleClient, which is an Oracle Data Provider for.NET (ODP.Net).
Quick PDF Library Lite offers a subset of the functionality found in Quick PDF Library — a royalty-free PDF developer SDK.
What's more: Quick PDF Library Lite is available as an ActiveX component and works with C, C++, C#, Delphi, PHP, Visual Basic, VB.NET, ASP, PowerBASIC, Pascal or any other language that supports ActiveX.
Here's a short list of the supported functions in Quick PDF Library Lite (names would give you the clue of the actual usage): AddImageFromFile, AddLinkToWeb, AddStandardFont, DocumentCount, DrawImage, DrawText, FindImages, GetInformation, HasFontResources, ImageCount, ImageHeight, ImageWidth, Linearized, LoadFromFile, NewDocument, NewPage, PageCount, PageHeight, PageRotation, PageWidth, RemoveDocument, SaveToFile, SecurityInfo, SelectDocument, SelectedDocument, SelectFont, SelectImage, SelectPage, SetInformation, SetOrigin, SetPageSize, SetPageDimensions, SetTextAlign, SetTextColor, SetTextSize.
Note: the Lite version of Quick PDF Library comes as an ActiveX component. You need to register the ActiveX library with Windows, using the following command:
regsvr32 QuickPDFLite0719.dll
Next, here's a simple usage example:
I am just getting back into C++ Bulder after several years.

The Jedi site is great, but my favorite is Torry's Delphi Page, which has lots of components and resources.

Torry is one of the main places you should look for free components. They have hundreds of them (you will have to be able to filter old components and take some other with a pinch of salt).

I use Torry's Delphi Pages a lot and the JVCL too, but for me the best components are Mike Lischke's Soft Gems. There used to be a very nice library called the LVK Components but it was taken over by a company, TwoDesk and have two licenses that you can choose to use (for Commercial and Open Source applications.)
