         - In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and click Add -> Reference…

 

 

         - In the Add Reference dialog, click Browse tab, navigate to the project folder, select "ComPDFKit_Conversion.dll" dynamic library, and then click OK.

 

 

3. Add ComPDFKit Conversion SDK native library to the project. Add the "x64" and "x86" folder into the project. Please make sure to set the property "Copy to Output Directory" of "CPDFConverterNative.dll" and "opencv_world420.dll" to "Copy if newer". Otherwise, you should copy it to the same folder with the executable file manually before running the project.
