The PDFlib pCOS Cookbook is a collection of pCOS coding fragments for solving specific problems. It is maintained as a growing list of sample programs. The Cookbook topics are written in the Java language, but can easily be ported to other programming languages since the pCOS API is almost identical for all supported language bindings. Each Cookbook topic denotes the pCOS interface version required for the topic's execution.

The pCOS Cookbook topics can also easily be used with other PDFlib products since all PDFlib products include the pCOS API functions. Just translate the pCOS function calls by adding the product specific prefix.

Individual Cookbook Topics

Each topic can be viewed individually in the browser together with its source code, description and output PDF. For a complete list of all topics currently being available, see All Topics Overview.
