PDF converter project

[hherbol]

Hey, recently I've got a project I wanted to work on to further advance my c/c++ programming as well as help out my girlfriend. Turns out on her nook, it can only display pdf files that are 'printed as images'. Basically, if you open a pdf and press Ctrl+F and cannot find even a single letter (sorry if I'm 'dumbing' it down or not enough... I'm pretty bad at explaining normally). Anyways, I want to make a program that can open multiple files and print them to another file as an image(say open temp1.pdf and print to newtemp1.pdf, etc...). I think my course of action would be:
1. Open temp.pdf
2. Create newtemp.pdf
2. Put the first page of temp.pdf into a buffer
3. Output the buffer into newtemp.pdf as an image (png i guess)
4. Repeat till end
5. Save newtemp.pdf and close out and free buffers, etc...

My Main issue here is I would need a library that would can read/write pdf's and outside help as I'm not the best programmer in the world either. So my first question is does anyone know of a pdf library that would be useful? And my second question is would anybody like to aid me on this endeavor by answering all followup posts (as I know I'll be posting on here for more help as I go on).

PS. *ADMINS* If I'm misusing the board, could you send me an e-mail and tell me so I may re-write my help post

PSS. *ANYONE* You can email me at [e-mail] if you are willing to stay a 'long-term' aid on this project. Be forewarned that I am still a beginner programmer in my own eyes.

Thank You

How about these suggestions as a starting place for reading in a pdf for manipulation?

Thanks, that will actually help a lot :) But a turn of events occurred and I can't proceed with the project for now. But I'll be back when I do. Thank you again, that's actually just what I needed
