That's why I'm asking.
Also, I tried to find documentation on reading/writing PDF with FPC, but on the site I've got two links, one of them broken. Basically for me it would be important to read from PDF or JPEG, so the format is not that important, but I have to generate some platform independent graphical sheets, for which both are suitable.

I think the best way is to use an existing software from fpc , for example GOCR: http://jocr.sourceforge.net/ GOCR is based on a shared library, which means that it shouldn't be difficult to call the functions from freepascal.

PDF is completely different from JPG (unless the PDF is nothing but a container with JPG's or other bitmaps in it).
