I'm looking for a very simple PDF library to help me fill in forms in PDF documents, written in C or C++. I've looked at a lot number of libraries for this and am surprised it is so hard to find!
Here's some of the things I've already looked at:
poppler: is only for reading PDF not writing
libharu: seems focused on PDF creation, not manipulation of existing files
pdftk: is neat but is only a front end for iText which...
iText: is the right kind of thing, but is written in Java and C#, both of which require massive virtual machines
pypdf: has the same problem as iText- my application is written in C++/Qt and I don't want to require the download and installation of any massive runtime
A slightly different approach, these libraries could work but require me to recreate an existing pdf document in a markup of some sort:
ps2pdf
XeTeX
... etc
Redoing existing PDF documents is an option since I will be working with a limited set of templates, but I would prefer to avoid since I don't know TeX or Postscript and would have to learn, and of course redoing the templates is redundant.
Any suggestions?

Hmm I've having a hard time figuring out to to get that one to do what I need, but it just might work. Thank you for the link!
