The first thing you will have to do is download the library and put it in the proper place...I'm not sure exactly where on your computer it should go, but I'm sure another expert can help me out there.

Then you will have to use the proper #include statement...something like #include <pdflib> at the top of your program. This will make sure you can actually use this nice new library you've included.

As for using the library's functions, that's for you to learn. You can't be sure that any of the experts here have used this library before, so you need to look up the functions you need and how to use them.

This is dependent on your OS. If Windows, use the Start->Search function to look for a common library (iostream?). If Linux, use the command "find / -name iostream*". If you're not root, that will give you a lot of 'access denied' errors, but it will show the correct find results in there as well.
