1．PDF_show
void PDF_show(PDF *p, const char *text)
void PDF_show2(PDF *p, const char *text, int len)
在当前坐标用当前字体及字体大小输出文本。
PDF_show将认为字符串是以空字符结尾（NULL）；若字符串有可能含有空字符（如多字节字符串），用PDF_show2。
2．PDF_show_xy
void PDF_show_xy(PDF *p, const char *text, double x, double y)
void PDF_show_xy2(PDF *p, const char *text, int len, double x, double y)
在给出的坐标用当前字体及字体大小输出文本。
PDF_show_xy将认为字符串是以空字符结尾（NULL）；若字符串有可能含有空字符（如多字节字符串），用PDF_show_xy2。
3．PDF_continue_text
void PDF_continue_text(PDF *p, const char *text)
void PDF_continue_text2(PDF *p, const char *text, int len)
在下一行用当前字体及字体大小输出文本。
PDF_continue_xy将认为字符串是以空字符结尾（NULL）；若字符串有可能含有空字符（如多字节字符串），用PDF_continue_xy2。
4．PDF_fit_textline
void PDF_fit_textline(PDF*p, const char *text, int len, double x, double y, const char *optlist)
在给出的坐标根据选择项输出一行文本。
若字符串是以空字符结尾（NULL），len为0；否则，给出具体字节数。
5．PDF_fit_textflow
int PDF_create_textflow(PDF *p, const char *text, int len, const char *optlist)
建立文本流对象,并预处理文本为下面的文本格式化做准备。
若字符串是以空字符结尾（NULL），len为0；否则，给出具体字节数。
const char *PDF_fit_textflow(PDF *p, int textflow, double llx, double lly, double urx, double ury, const char *optlist)
将文本输出到相应的矩形块中。
lly, llx, ury, urx, 分别是矩形块左下角及右上角的纵横坐标。
void PDF_delete_textflow(PDF *p, int textflow)
删除文本流对象及相关数据结构。
小结
1，2， 3 组函数简洁，直观，易用。4，5组函数可通过对选择项的控制而输出更灵活的文本格式。尤其是第5组函数，是专门为多行文本设计的，可通过选项控制对齐，字间距，边框显示，旋转等。但4，5组函数有个局限，在字符串是多字节时，它们只能处理Unicode类编码。换而言之，他们不支持cp936编码。
下面是一个相关的例子--C 源程序(下载源代码中包含了生成的pdf文件 –PDFlib_cs3.pdf)。
