Work with PDF facades in C++

Aspose.PDF for C++ provides facade classes for common PDF operations such as filling forms, merging files, replacing content, extracting resources, and applying stamps. These classes are in the Aspose::Pdf::Facades namespace.

Facades provide a simpler entry point for common workflows such as merging files, filling forms, applying security, and stamping pages. Choose the class that matches your task, then follow its tutorials and examples.

Many facades use BindPdf() to open a file, stream, or Document and Save() to write a result. Others accept input and output paths directly. Follow the workflow shown by the example for the class you choose.
