Hey

Can you share API documentation in C++.

@Dev00161

Please use following code snippet to find and replace text in existing PDF documents using Aspose.PDF for C++:

// Open document
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Pdf::Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Pdf::Document>(L"D:\\Tests\\input.pdf");
// Find font that will be used to change document text font
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Pdf::Text::Font> font = Aspose::Pdf::Text::FontRepository::FindFont(L"Arial");
// Create TextFragmentAbsorber object to find all "hello world" text occurrences
System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Pdf::Text::TextFragmentAbsorber> absorber = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Pdf::Text::TextFragmentAbsorber>(L"hello world");
// Accept the absorber for first page
doc->get_Pages()->idx_get(1)->Accept(absorber);
// Change text and font of the first text occurrence
absorber->get_TextFragments()->idx_get(1)->set_Text(L"hi world");
absorber->get_TextFragments()->idx_get(1)->get_TextState()->set_Font(font);
// Save document
doc->Save(L"D:\\Tests\\output.pdf");

We recommend to use VS2017 in order to develop with Aspose.PDF for C++. In upcoming releases of the API we will be going to deprecate the support upto VS2015 and minimum support version would be VS2017. Furthermore, you can check sample project present in downloaded package of Aspose.PDF for C++ and copy its configuration in order to make everything running. In case you still face any issue, please share some details about which type of issue you are facing. We will try to assist you accordingly.
