When I try to load the .pdf file I have an error "unable to read. PDF IS DAMAGED". WHY? This code works for .txt files and .cpp files. I've tested it. I am currently working in ubuntu c++ code. I've also used the base_64 encode/decode because this was the request.

Try this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libharu/

I saw it recommended in a few different places, including a couple different SO questions - but all they gave was the link.

It's a free, open-souce library for PDF reading. It probably isn't as easy as you want, but I think its as easy as you're gonna get and its free.

It's also multi-platform so should work on UNIX and windows.

Try opening with:

ifstream file ("/home/sensor.pdf", ios::in|ios::binary);
