  License keys are uniquely generated. Please make sure that it is not publicly available (e.g. in your public GitHub).

Run the Samples

Enter the sample folder and run the example from the command line:

• Input/ Run. sh all to run all examples.
• Input/ Run. sh [samplename] to run a specific example. For example/ Run. sh BatesTest.

If you receive an error message bash:/ Test. sh: Permission denied, you need to enter the following command:

chmod+x run .sh

Integrate into Your Application

You can follow the manual or nuget integration described below for operation. This section will help you build your first ComPDFKit application. If you can open, save, and close PDFDoc, you can easily integrate the rest of the ComPDFKit PDF SDK.

Integrate Manually

1. Create a new project named ComPDFKit Demo_ through the console:

   mkdir ComPDFKitDemo
   cd ComPDFKitDemo
   dotnet new console -o "ComPDFKit Demo"

2. Copy the ComPDFKitNative.so file and ComPDFKit Copy the NET.dll file to the project folder.

3. Add the following code to the. csproj file:

   <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="ComPDFKit.NET.dll">
      <HintPath>ComPDFKit.NET.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
   </ItemGroup>
   
   <ItemGroup>
       <Content Include="ComPDFKitNative.so">
           <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
       </Content>
   </ItemGroup>

   Your final ComPDFKit Demo.csproj file should look like this:

   <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
   
       <PropertyGroup>
           <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
           <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
       </PropertyGroup>
   
       <ItemGroup>
           <Reference Include="ComPDFKit.NET.dll">
               <HintPath>ComPDFKit.NET.dll</HintPath>
           </Reference>
       </ItemGroup>
   
       <ItemGroup>
           <Content Include="ComPDFKitNative.so">
               <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
           </Content>
       </ItemGroup>
   
   </Project>

Integrate with NuGet

1. Create a new project named ComPDFKit Demo_ through the console:

   mkdir ComPDFKitDemo
   cd ComPDFKitDemo
   dotnet new console -o "ComPDFKit Demo"

2. Enter the project folder and install ComPDFKit Core NuGet package:

   dotnet add package ComPDFKit.NetCore

Create PDF Document

We have completed all the preparation steps. Now let's use the ComPDFKit PDF SDK to create a PDF file with a blank page, and replace your Program. cs file with the following code. Note that you need to replace your license in the 'LicenseVerify()' method.

using ComPDFKit.NativeMethod;
using ComPDFKit.PDFDocument;
using System.Reflection.Metadata;

namespace ComPDFKit_Demo
{
    public class Program
    {
        private static bool LicenseVerify()
        {
            if (!CPDFSDKVerifier.LoadNativeLibrary())
                return false;
            LicenseErrorCode verifyResult = CPDFSDKVerifier.LicenseVerify("Input your license here");
            return (verifyResult == LicenseErrorCode.E_LICENSE_SUCCESS);
        }
        
        public static void Main()
        { 
            LicenseVerify();
            CPDFDocument document = CPDFDocument.CreateDocument();
			int pageIndex = 0;
			int pageWidth = 595;
			int pageHeight = 842;
			document.InsertPage(pageIndex, pageWidth, pageHeight, "");
			document.WriteToFilePath("new_file.pdf");
            Console.WriteLine("Done. Results saved in new_file.pdf");
        }
    }
}

Now you can run the program from the command line:

dotnet run

Now you will find the 'new_file. pdf' file in the program output directory, which is a PDF file with a blank page.
