C++ library for creating pdfs with many languages supported?

Question

My dilemma is this: We have been using libharu for the creation of our pdfs but we recently added Hindi to our software and from what I can find, libharu doesn't support it.

I have looked around and have been unable to find a library similar to libharu (doesn't need to be open source) that supports all the languages we use, but I have failed.

I checked out all the libraries mentioned in this post, but none of them met my needs:

Open source PDF library for C/C++ application?

Also, that post is a few years old. >_<

So I ask you, kind stackoverflow people, do you know of a library for creating and editing pdfs (in c++) that supports at least the following languages? (English, Spanish, French, Turkish, German, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi)

Have you tried going to the source?
Adobe PDF Developer SDK

Adobe Systems ~~owns~~ invented the PDF language. I recommend talking to them first before going open source. They may have some libraries or SDKs to use with PDFs.

Isn't PDF an open ISO standard for some years now? – KillianDS Dec 07 '12 at 20:51
According to Wikipedia, there is an ISO PDF standard. I didn't think Adobe would relinquish control, but it did. – Thomas Matthews Dec 07 '12 at 21:07

I have used JagPDF few times and from my last experience I think embedding fonts in the pdf might solve your problem.
