C or C++ library for PDF creation?

Hi,
Is there any C or C++ library (free software or open source) for PDF
creation, other than PDFLib? [ PDFLib is good but it puts a watermark
across the PDF output. ]
I'm looking for such a library to use for:
1. Porting my xtopdf PDF creation/conversion toolkit - see
http://www.dancingbison.com/services.html - from Python to C or C++,
for reasons of a) possibly better performance, b) being able to wrap
the ported code as a Ruby/C extension, so that I can then generate PDF
from Ruby. [I do know about Ruby's PDF::Writer, but am exploring
different ways of doing the same thing].
2. Doing PDF generation from C or C++.
Both the above points are part of my overall plan of extending xtopdf
in different dimensions (more features, ports to more languages, etc.).
Thanks
Vasudev

Well... I know panda library. I haven't used it and seems to be stale.
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/panda/
But I have already used pslib... which output I convert to PDF with
ghostscript.
http://pslib.sourceforge.net/
Hope it helps
