Introduction

The sample programs demonstrate how to use PDF Export. The sample code is intended to provide a starting point for your own applications or to be used for reference purposes. You can also test these sample programs with the sample files provided in install\testdocs.

The following sample programs are provided:

The source code and makefile for each program are in the following directory, where install is the path of the Export installation directory, and program_name is the name of the sample program:

install\pdfexport\programs\program_name

Before the sample programs can be compiled, you must replace the parameter YOUR_KEYVIEW_LICENSE in the fpInit() function call with your license information.

To compile the sample programs, use the makefiles provided in the sample programs' directory. Ensure the PDF Export include directory is specified in the include path of the project. After the executables are compiled and built, you must place them in the same directory as the PDF Export libraries.

NOTE: Compiled binaries are provided for some of the sample programs, in the PLATFORM/bin folder. These have an embedded trial license, which expires approximately five months after release. If you set the environment variable KV_SAMPLE_PROGRAM_LICENSE_FROM_FILEPATH to a file path, the sample program reads your license from the specified file. This allows you to use the program after the embedded trial license has expired, and to test or troubleshoot with your own license.
