Accurately obtaining the license key is crucial for the application of the license.

1. In the email you received, locate the XML file containing the license key.
2. Copy the License.xml file into the assets directory of your Flutter project.

3. Open the pubspec.yaml file of your project and configure the flutter: section to enable the assets directory.

4. Initialize the SDK:

// Include the license in Flutter assets and copy to device storage
// Add `license_key_flutter.xml` to your Flutter project’s assets directory;
File licenseFile = await CPDFFileUtil.extractAsset(context, 'assets/license_key_flutter.xml');
ComPDFKit.initWithPath(licenseFile.path);

Alternative methods (optional)

// Android
// Copy the license_key_flutter.xml file into the assets directory of your Android project:
ComPDFKit.initWithPath('assets://license_key_flutter.xml');

// iOS
// Copy the license_key_flutter.xml file into your iOS project directory (or a readable location):
ComPDFKit.initWithPath('license_key_flutter.xml');
