We report on a measurement of the D⁺-meson production cross section as a function of transverse momentum (p_T) in proton-antiproton (p$$\bar{p}$$) collisions at 1.96 TeV center-of-mass energy, using the full data set collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab in Tevatron Run II and corresponding to 10 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity. We use D⁺→K^-π⁺π⁺ decays fully reconstructed in the central rapidity region |y|<1 with transverse momentum down to 1.5 GeV/c, a range previously unexplored in p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions. Inelastic p$$\bar{p}$$ scattering events are selected online using minimally biasing requirements followed by an optimized offline selection. The K^-π⁺π⁺ mass distribution is used to identify the D⁺ signal, and the D⁺ transverse impact-parameter distribution is used to separate prompt production, occurring directly in the hard-scattering process, from secondary production from b-hadron decays. We obtain a prompt D⁺ signal of 2950 candidates corresponding to a total cross section σ(D⁺,1.5_T<14.5 GeV/c,|y|<1)=71.9±6.8(stat)±9.3(syst) μb. While the measured cross sections are consistent with theoretical estimates in each p_T bin, the shape of the observed p_T spectrum is softer than the expectation from quantum chromodynamics. The results are unique in p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions and can improve the shape and uncertainties of future predictions.
