About this guide

This guide is intended for developers who need to integrate Foxit PDF SDK with the C program language into their own applications. It aims at introducing the installation package, and the usage of SDK.

Getting Started

It’s very easy to setup Foxit PDF SDK and see it in action! This guide will provide you with a brief introduction about our SDK package. The following sections introduce the contents of system requirements, the installation package as well as how to run a demo, and create your own project.

System Requirements

Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 (32-bit and 64-bit)

Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2012 (32-bit and 64-bit)

The release package includes a 32 bit version and native 64 bit version DLL library for Windows 32/64.

Note: It only supports for Windows 8/10 classic style, but not for Store App or Universal App.

What is in the package

Download the Foxit PDF SDK zip for Windows (C API) package and extract it to a new directory “foxitpdfsdk_9_0_win_c”, which is shown in Figure 2-1.

NOTE: the highlighted rectangle in the figure is just the version of Foxit PDF SDK. Here the SDK version is 9.0, so it shows 9_0 in the package name.

The release package contains the following folders:

doc: API references, developer guide

examples: sample projects and demos

include: header files for Foxit PDF SDK API

lib: libraries and license files

res: the default icc profile files used for output preview demo

Figure 2-1

In the “examples” folder, there are two types of demos. “\examples\simple_demo” contains more than 30 demos that cover a wide range of PDF applications. “\examples\view_demo” contains a UI demo that realizes a lite PDF viewer.

How to run a demo

Foxit PDF SDK for C API provides several simple demos to show developers about how to effectively apply Foxit PDF SDK APIs to complete their applications.

To run a demo in Visual Studio (except security, signature, ocr, compliance, html2pdf, office2pdf, output preview and pdf2office demos which will be introduced later), you can follow the steps below:

Load the visual studio solution files “simple_demo_vs2010.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2015.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2017.sln” (depending on your Visual Studio version) in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder.

Build all the demos by clicking “Build > Build Solution”. Alternatively, if you merely want to build a specific demo, you can right-click it and then choose “Build” or load the “*.vxcproj” file in the folder of a specific demo project and then build it.

After building, the executable file “.exe” will be generated in the “\examples\simple_demo\bin” folder. The names of the executable files depend on the build configurations.

Run a specific executable file by double-clicking it.

Some demos will generate output files (pdf, text or image files) to a folder named by the project name under “examples\simple_demo\output_files\” folder.

Note: If you want to see the detailed executing processes, you can run it in command line. Start “cmd.exe”, navigate to “\examples\simple_demo\bin”, and run a specific executable file.

Security demo

Before running security demo, you should install the certificates “foxit.cer” and “foxit_all.pfx” found in “\examples\simple_demo\input_files” folder.

To install “foxit.cer”, double-click it to start the certificate import wizard. Then select “Install certificate… > Next > Next > Finish”.

To install “foxit_all.pfx”, double-click it to start the certificate import wizard. Then select “Next > Next > (Type the password “123456” for the private key in the textbox) and click Next > Next > Finish”.

Run the demo following the steps as the other demos.

Signature demo

Before running signature demo, you should ensure that the OpenSSL has been already installed in your machine. Download an OpenSSL source package from the OpenSSL website, or you can contact us directly, and then extract it and do the following:

Put the OpenSSL folder into the “include” folder which ensures that the OpenSSL header files included in the demos can be found.

Put the “libeay32.lib” library into the “lib” folder.

Run the demo following the steps as the other demos.

Note: We have verified that OpenSSL 1.1.1-stable version version is available on the signature demo, you can replace it with the desired version, and maybe need to do some changes.

OCR and Compliance demos

For ocr and compliance demos, you should build a resource directory at first, please contact Foxit support team or sales team to get the resource files packages. For more details about how to run the demos, please refer to section 3.33 “OCR” and section 3.34 “Compliance”.

HTML to PDF demo

For html2pdf demo, you should contact Foxit support team or sales team to get the engine files package for converting from HTML to PDF at first. For more details about how to run the demo, please refer to section 3.36 “HTML to PDF Conversion”.

Office to PDF demo

For office2pdf demo, you should make sure that Microsoft Office 2007 version or higher is already installed and the default Microsoft virtual printer is already set on your Windows system. Then, run the demo following the steps as the other demos.

Output Preview demo

For output preview demo, you should set the folder path which contains default icc profile files. For more details about how to run the demo, please refer to section 3.38 “Output Preview”.

PDF to Office demo

For pdf2office demo, you should contact Foxit support team or sales team to get the engine files package for converting from PDF to office at first. For more details about how to run the demo, please refer to section 3.43 “PDF to Office Conversion”.

How to create a simple project

In this section, we will show you how to use Foxit PDF SDK for Windows to create a simple project that renders the first page of a PDF to a bitmap and saves it as a JPG image. Please follow the steps below:

Open Visual Studio and create a new Win32 Console Application named “test_win”.

Copy the “include” and “lib” folders from the “foxitpdfsdk_9_0_win_c” folder to the project “test_win” folder.

Add the “include” folder to your “Additional Include Directories”. Right-click the test_win project in Solution Explorer, choose “Properties”, and find “Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories”.

Add include header statements to the beginning of test_win.cpp.

#include <iostream>
#include "../include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "../include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "../include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "../include/fs_pdfpage_c.h"
#include "../include/fs_render_c.h"

Add using namespace statements.

using namespace std;

Include Foxit PDF SDK library.

#if defined (_WIN64) // windows 64bit platforms.
    #if defined (_DEBUG)
        #pragma comment (lib, "../lib/fsdk_c_win64.lib")
    #else
        #pragma comment (lib, "../lib/fsdk_c_win64.lib")
    #endif
#elif defined (_WIN32) // windows 32bit platforms.
    #if defined (_DEBUG)
        #pragma comment (lib, "../lib/fsdk_c_win32.lib")
    #else
        #pragma comment (lib, "../lib/fsdk_c_win32.lib")
    #endif
#endif

Initialize the Foxit PDF SDK library. It is necessary for apps to initialize Foxit PDF SDK using a license before calling any APIs. The trial license files can be found in the “lib” folder.

const char* sn = " ";
const char* key = " ";
FSErrorCode code = FSDK_Library_Initialize(sn, key);
if (code != e_FSErrSuccess) {
       return false;
}

Note The value of “sn” can be got from “gsdk_sn.txt” (the string after “SN=”) and the value of “key” can be got from “gsdk_key.txt” (the string after “Sign=”).

Load a PDF document, and parse the first page of the document. Let us assume that you have already put a “Sample.pdf” to the “test_win\test_win” folder.

FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE doc;
FSDK_PDFDoc_Create0("Sample.pdf", doc);
FSErrorCode error_code = FSDK_PDFDoc_Load(doc, NULL);
if (error_code!= e_FSErrSuccess) return 0;
FS_PDFPAGE_HANDLE page;
FSDK_PDFDoc_GetPage(doc, 0, page)
FS_PROGRESSIVE_HANDLE progressivehandle;
FSDK_PDFPage_StartParse(page, e_FSParseFlagsParsePageNormal, NULL, false, progressivehandle);

Render a Page to a bitmap and save it as a JPG file.

float floatwidth, floatheight;
FSDK_PDFPage_GetWidth(page, floatwidth);
FSDK_PDFPage_GetHeight(page, floatheight);
int width = static_cast<int>(floatwidth);
int height = static_cast<int>(floatheight);
FSRotation rotate;
FSDK_PDFPage_GetRotation(page, rotate);
FSMatrix matrix;
matrix.a = 1;
matrix.b = 0;
matrix.c = 0;
matrix.d = 1;
matrix.e = 0;
matrix.f = 0;
FSDK_PDFPage_GetDisplayMatrix(page, 0, 0, width, height, rotate, matrix);
// Prepare a bitmap for rendering.
FS_BITMAP_HANDLE bitmap;
FSDK_Bitmap_Create(width, height, e_FSDIBArgb, NULL, 0, bitmap);
FSDK_Bitmap_FillRect(bitmap, 0xFFFFFFFF, NULL);
// Render page.
FS_RENDERER_HANDLE render;
FSDK_Renderer_Create(bitmap, false, render);
FSDK_Renderer_StartRender(render, page, matrix, NULL, progressivehandle);
// Add the bitmap to image and save the image.
FS_IMAGE_HANDLE image;
FSDK_Image_Create(image);
FS_BOOL result = false;
FSDK_Image_AddFrame(image, bitmap, result);
FSDK_Image_SaveAs(image, "testpage.jpg", result);

Click “Build > Build Solution” to build the project. The executable file “test_win.exe” will be generated in “test_win\Debug” or “test_win\Release” folder depending on the build configurations.

Copy “fsdk_c_win32.dll” or “fsdk_c_win64.dll” in the “lib” folder to the output directory (“test_win\Debug” or “test_win\Release”). Please make sure that the “fsdk_c_win**.dll” architecture needs to match the platform target (Win32 or Win64) of the application.

Run the project. Choose one of the following:

Click “Debug > Start Without Debugging” in Visual Studio to run the project, and the “testpage.jpg” will be generated in the “test_win\test_win” folder (same with “test_win.cpp”).

Double-click the executable file “test_win.exe” to run the project. In this way, you should put the “Sample.pdf” to the same folder with the “test_win.exe”, and the “testpage.jpg” will also be generated in the same folder.

The final contents of “test_win.cpp” is as follow:

#include "stdafx.h"

Working with SDK API

In this section, we will introduce a set of major features and list some examples for each feature to show you how to integrate powerful PDF capabilities with your applications using Foxit PDF SDK C API. You can refer to the API reference [2] to get more details about the APIs used in all of the examples.

Initialize Library

It is necessary for applications to initialize Foxit PDF SDK before calling any APIs. The function FSDK_Library_Initialize is provided to initialize Foxit PDF SDK. A license should be purchased for the application and pass unlock key and code to get proper supports. When there is no need to use Foxit PDF SDK any more, please call function FSDK_Library_Release to release it.

Note The parameter “sn” can be found in the “gsdk_sn.txt” (the string after “SN=”) and the “key” can be found in the “gsdk_key.txt” (the string after “Sign=”).

Example:

How to initialize Foxit PDF SDK

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
...
const char* sn = " ";
const char* key = " ";
FSErrorCode code = FSDK_Library_Initialize(sn, key);
if (code != e_FSErrSuccess) {
       return false;
}

Document

PDF document is represented by FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE object, which can be created with an existing PDF file from file path, memory buffer, a custom implemented ReaderCallback object and an input file stream. Then call function FSDK_PDFDoc_Load or FSDK_PDFDoc_ StartLoad to load document content. It is used for document level operation, such as opening and closing files, getting page, metadata and etc.

Example:

How to create a PDF document from scratch

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
...
FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE doc;
FSDK_PDFDoc_Create(doc);

Note: It creates a new PDF document without any pages.

Page

PDF page is represented by FS_PDFPAGE_HANDLE object. Page level APIs provide functions to parse, render, edit (includes creating, deleting, flattening and etc.) a page, retrieve PDF annotations, read and set the properties of a page, and etc. FS_PDFPAGE_HANDLE object is created by FSDK_PDFDoc_GetPage and needs to be cleared by FSDK_PDFPage_Release. A PDF page needs to be parsed before it is rendered or processed.

Render

PDF rendering is realized through the Foxit renderer, a graphic engine that is used to render page to a bitmap or platform graphics device. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to set rendering options/flags, for example set flag to decide whether to render form fields and signature, whether to draw image anti-aliasing and path anti-aliasing. To do rendering, you can use the following APIs:

To render page and annotations, first use function FSDK_Renderer_SetRenderContentFlags to decide whether to render page and annotation both or not, and then use function FSDK_Renderer_StartRender to do the rendering. Function FSDK_Renderer_StartQuickRender can also be used to render page but only for thumbnail purpose.

To render a single annotation, use function FSDK_Renderer_RenderAnnot.

To render on a bitmap, use function FSDK_Renderer_StartRenderBitmap.

To render a reflowed page, use function FSDK_Renderer_StartRenderReflowPage.

Widget annotation is always associated with form field and form control in Foxit PDF SDK. For how to render widget annotations, here is a recommended flow:

After loading a PDF page, first render the page and all annotations in this page (including widget annotations).

Then, if use FS_FILLER_HANDLE object to fill the form, the function FSDK_Filler_Render should be used to render the focused form control instead of the function FSDK_Renderer_RenderAnnot.

Example:

Attachment

In Foxit PDF SDK, attachments are only referred to attachments of documents rather than file attachment annotation, which allow whole files to be encapsulated in a document, much like email attachments. PDF SDK provides applications APIs to access attachments such as loading attachments, getting attachments, inserting/removing attachments, and accessing properties of attachments.

Example:

How to export the embedded attachment file from a PDF and save it as a single file

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfattachments_c.h"
// Assuming FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE doc has been loaded.
// Get information of attachments.
FS_ATTACHMENTS_HANDLE attachments;
FS_PDFNAMETREE_HANDLE pdfnametree;
FSDK_PDFNameTree_Create0(pdfnametree);
FSDK_Attachments_Create(doc, pdfnametree, attachments);
int count;
FSDK_Attachments_GetCount(attachments, count);
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
 FS_WSTR key;
 FSDK_WStr_Init(key);
 FSDK_Attachments_GetKey(attachments, i, key);
 FS_FILESPEC_HANDLE file_spec;
 FSDK_Attachments_GetEmbeddedFile(attachments, (const wchar_t*)key.str, file_spec);
 FSDK_WStr_Clear(key);
 FS_BOOL return_value;
 FSDK_FileSpec_IsEmpty(file_spec, return_value);
    if (!return_value) {
FS_WSTR name;
       FSDK_WStr_Init(name);
       FS_BOOL isEmbedded;
       FSDK_FileSpec_GetFileName(file_spec, name);

    FSDK_WStr_Clear(key);
}
...

Text Page

Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to extract, select, search and retrieve text in PDF documents. PDF text contents are stored in FS_TEXTPAGE_HANDLE objects which are related to a specific page. FS_TEXTPAGE_HANDLE can be used to retrieve information about text in a PDF page, such as single character, single word, text content within specified character range or rectangle and so on. It also can be used to construct objects of other text related classes to do more operations for text contents or access specified information from text contents:

To search text in text contents of a PDF page, construct a FS_TEXTSEARCH_HANDLE object with FS_TEXTPAGE_HANDLE object.

To access text such like hypertext link, construct a FS_PAGETEXTLINKS_HANDLE object with FS_TEXTPAGE_HANDLE object.

Example:

How to extract text from a PDF page

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "include/fs_search_c.h"
using namespace std;
...
// Assuming FS_PDFPAGE_HANDLE page has been loaded and parsed.
// Get the text page object.
FS_TEXTPAGE_HANDLE text_page;
FSDK_TextPage_Create(page, e_FSTextParseFlagsParseTextNormal, text_page);
int count;
FSDK_TextPage_GetCharCount(text_page, count);
if (count > 0) {
 FS_WSTR text;
 FSDK_TextPage_GetChars(text_page, 0, -1, text);
 FS_BSTR text_bstr;
 FSErrorCode code = FSDK_WStr_UTF8Encode(text, text_bstr);
 string s_text;
 s_text.copy(text_bstr.str, text_bstr.len, 0);
 fwrite(text_bstr.str, sizeof(char), text_bstr.len, file);
 FSDK_WStr_Clear(text);
}

...

Text Search

Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to search text in a PDF document, a XFA document, a text page or in a PDF annotation’s appearance. It offers functions to do a text search and get the searching result:

To specify the searching pattern and options, use functions FSDK_TextSearch_SetPattern, FSDK_TextSearch_SetStartPage (only useful for a text search in PDF document), FSDK_TextSearch_SetEndPage (only useful for a text search in PDF document) and FSDK_TextSearch_SetSearchFlags.

To do the searching, use function FSDK_TextSearch_FindNext or FSDK_TextSearch_FindPrev.

To get the searching result, use function FSDK_TextSearch_GetMatchXXX().

Example:

How to search a text pattern in a PDF

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfpage_c.h"
#include "include/fs_search_c.h"
...
// Assuming FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE doc has been loaded.
// Search for all pages of doc.
FS_TEXTSEARCH_HANDLE search;
FSDK_TextSearch_Create(doc, NULL, e_FSTextParseFlagsParseTextNormal, search);
int start_index = 0;
int end_index = 0;
int index = 0;
FSDK_PDFDoc_GetPageCount(doc, index);
end_index = index - 1;
FS_BOOL return_value1 = false;
FSDK_TextSearch_SetStartPage(search, start_index, return_value1);
FS_BOOL return_value2 = false;
FSDK_TextSearch_SetEndPage(search, end_index, return_value2);
wstring pattern = L"Foxit";
FS_BOOL return_value3;
FSDK_TextSearch_SetPattern(search, pattern.c_str(), return_value3);
FS_UINT32 flags = e_FSSearchFlagsSearchNormal;
FS_BOOL return_value4;
FSDK_TextSearch_SetSearchFlags(search, flags, return_value4);
...
int match_count = 0;
FS_BOOL return_value5;
FSDK_TextSearch_FindNext(search, return_value5);
while (return_value5) {
    FSRectF *rect_array = NULL;
 FS_UINT32 return_array_length;
 FSDK_TextSearch_GetMatchRects(search, rect_array, return_array_length);
 match_count ++;
 rect_array = new FSRectF[return_array_length];
 FSDK_TextSearch_GetMatchRects(search, rect_array, return_array_length);
 FSDK_TextSearch_FindNext(search, return_value5);
 delete[]rect_array;
    }
...

Text Link

In a PDF page, some text contents that represent a hypertext link to a website or a resource on the intent, or an email address are the same with common texts. Prior to text link processing, user should first call FSDK_PageTextLinks_GetTextLink to get a textlink object.

Example:

How to retrieve hyperlinks in a PDF page

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfpage_c.h"
#include "include/fs_search_c.h"
...
// Assuming FS_PDFPAGE_HANDLE page has been loaded and parsed.
// Get the text page object.
FS_TEXTPAGE_HANDLE text_page;
FSDK_TextPage_Create(page, e_FSTextParseFlagsParseTextNormal, text_page);
FS_PAGETEXTLINKS_HANDLE pageTextLink;
FSDK_PageTextLinks_Create(text_page, pageTextLink);
FS_TEXTLINK_HANDLE textLink;
FSDK_PageTextLinks_GetTextLink(pageTextLink, index, textLink);
FS_WSTR strURL;
FSDK_TextLink_GetURI(textLink, strURL);
...

Bookmark

Foxit PDF SDK provides navigational tools called Bookmarks to allow users to quickly locate and link their point of interest within a PDF document. PDF bookmark is also called outline, and each bookmark contains a destination or actions to describe where it links to. It is a tree-structured hierarchy, so function FSDK_PDFDoc_GetRootBookmark must be called first to get the root of the whole bookmark tree before accessing to the bookmark tree. Here, “root bookmark” is an abstract object which can only have some child bookmarks without next sibling bookmarks and any data (includes bookmark data, destination data and action data). It cannot be shown on the application UI since it has no data. Therefore, a root bookmark can only call function FSDK_Bookmark_GetFirstChild.

After the root bookmark is retrieved, following functions can be called to access other bookmarks:

To access the parent bookmark, use function FSDK_Bookmark_GetParent.

To access the first child bookmark, use function FSDK_Bookmark_GetFirstChild.

To access the next sibling bookmark, use function FSDK_Bookmark_GetNextSibling.

To insert a new bookmark, use function FSDK_Bookmark_Insert.

To move a bookmark, use function FSDK_Bookmark_MoveTo.

Example:

if (first_bookmark != null)
{
       TraverseBookmark(first_bookmark, 0);
}
Private void TraverseBookmark(FS_BOOKMARK_HANDLE root, int iLevel)
{
       if (root != null)
       {
                FS_BOOKMARK_HANDLE child;
       FSDK_Bookmark_GetFirstChild(root, child);
              while (child != null)
              {
                 TraverseBookmark(child, iLevel + 1);

Form (AcroForm)

PDF currently supports two different forms for gathering information interactively from the user – AcroForms and XFA forms. Acroforms are the original PDF-based fillable forms, based on the PDF architecture. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to view and edit form field programmatically. Form fields are commonly used in PDF documents to gather data. Foxit PDF SDK offers functions to retrieve form fields or form controls, import/export form data and other features, for example:

To retrieve form fields, please use functions FSDK_Form_GetFieldCount and FSDK_Form_GetField.

To retrieve form controls from a PDF page, please use functions FSDK_Form_GetControlCount and FSDK_Form_GetControl.

To import form data from an XML file, please use function FSDK_Form_ImportFromXML; to export form data to an XML file, please use function FSDK_Form_ExportToXML.

To retrieve form filler object, please use function FSDK_Form_GetFormFiller.

To import form data from a FDF/XFDF file or export such data to a FDF/XFDF file, please refer to functions FSDK_PDFDoc_ImportFromFDF and FSDK_PDFDoc_ExportToFDF.

XFA (XML Forms Architecture) forms are XML-based forms, wrapped inside a PDF. The XML Forms Architecture provides a template-based grammar and a set of processing rules that allow uses to build interactive forms. At its simplest, a template-based grammar defines fields in which a user provides data.

Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to render the XFA form, fill the form, export or import form’s data.

Note:

Foxit PDF SDK provides two structs FSAppProviderCallback and FSDocProviderCallback to represent the callback objects as an XFA document provider and an XFA application provider respectively.

To use the XFA form feature, please make sure the license key has the permission of the ‘XFA’ module.

Example:

Form Design

Fillable PDF forms (AcroForm) are especially convenient for preparation of various applications, such as taxes and other government forms. Form design provides APIs to add or remove form fields (Acroform) to or from a PDF file. Designing a form from scratch allows developers to create the exact content and layout of the form they want.

Example:

Annotations

General

An annotation associates an object such as note, line, and highlight with a location on a page of a PDF document. It provides a way to interact with users by means of the mouse and keyboard. PDF includes a wide variety of standard annotation types as listed in Table 3. Among these annotation types, many of them are defined as markup annotations for they are used primarily to mark up PDF documents. These annotations have text that appears as part of the annotation and may be displayed in other ways by a conforming reader, such as in a Comments pane. The ‘Markup’ column in Table 3 shows whether an annotation is a markup annotation.

Foxit PDF SDK supports most annotation types defined in PDF reference [1]. PDF SDK provides APIs of annotation creation, properties access and modification, appearance setting and drawing.

Table 31

Annotation type	Description	Markup	Supported by SDK
Text(Note)	Text annotation	Yes	Yes
Link	Link Annotation	No	Yes
FreeText (TypeWritter/TextBox/Callout)	Free text annotation	Yes	Yes
Line	Line annotation	Yes	Yes
Square	Square annotation	Yes	Yes
Circle	Circle annotation	Yes	Yes
Polygon	Polygon annotation	Yes	Yes
PolyLine	PolyLine annotation	Yes	Yes
Highlight	Highlight annotation	Yes	Yes
Underline	Underline annotation	Yes	Yes
Squiggly	Squiggly annotation	Yes	Yes
StrikeOut	StrikeOut annotation	Yes	Yes
Stamp	Stamp annotation	Yes	Yes
Caret	Caret annotation	Yes	Yes
Ink(pencil)	Ink annotation	Yes	Yes
Popup	Popup annotation	No	Yes
File Attachment	FileAttachment annotation	Yes	Yes
Sound	Sound annotation	Yes	No
Movie	Movie annotation	No	No
Widget*	Widget annotation	No	Yes
Screen	Screen annotation	No	Yes
PrinterMark	PrinterMark annotation	No	No
TrapNet	Trap network annotation	No	No
Watermark*	Watermark annotation	No	Yes
3D	3D annotation	No	No
Redact	Redact annotation	Yes	Yes

Note:

The annotation types of widget and watermark are special. They aren’t supported in the module of ‘Annotation’. The type of widget is only used in the module of ‘form filler’ and the type of watermark only in the module of ‘watermark’.

Foxit SDK supports a customized annotation type called PSI (pressure sensitive ink) annotation that is not described in PDF reference [1]. Usually, PSI is for handwriting features and Foxit SDK treats it as PSI annotation so that it can be handled by other PDF products.

Image Conversion

Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs for conversion between PDF files and images. Applications could easily fulfill functionalities like image creation and image conversion which supports the following image formats: BMP, TIFF, PNG, JPX, JPEG, and GIF. Foxit PDF SDK can make the conversion between PDF files and the supported image formats except for GIF. It only supports converting GIF images to PDF files.

Example:

Watermark

Watermark is a type of PDF annotation and is widely used in PDF document. Watermark is a visible embedded overlay on a document consisting of text, a logo, or a copyright notice. The purpose of a watermark is to identify the work and discourage its unauthorized use. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to work with watermark, allowing applications to create, insert, release and remove watermarks.

Example:

Barcode

A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data relating to the object to which it is attached. Originally barcodes systematically represented data by varying the widths and spacing of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D). Later they evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two dimensions (2D). Although 2D systems use a variety of symbols, they are generally referred to as barcodes as well. Barcodes originally were scanned by special optical scanners called barcode readers. Later, scanners and interpretive software became available on devices including desktop printers and smartphones. Foxit PDF SDK provides applications to generate a barcode bitmap from a given string. The barcode types that Foxit PDF SDK supports are listed in Table 3-2.

Table 32

Barcode Type	Code39	Code128	EAN8	UPCA	EAN13	ITF	PDF417	QR
Dimension	1D	1D	1D	1D	1D	1D	2D	2D

Example:

How to generate a barcode bitmap from a string

Security

Foxit PDF SDK provides a range of encryption and decryption functions to meet different level of document security protection. Users can use regular password encryption and certificate-driven encryption, or using their own security handler for custom security implementation. It also provides APIs to integrate with the third-party security mechanism (Microsoft RMS). These APIs allow developers to work with the Microsoft RMS SDK to both encrypt (protect) and decrypt (unprotect) PDF documents.

Note: For more detailed information about the RMS encryption and decryption, please refer to the simple demo “security” in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder of the download package.

Example:

How to encrypt a PDF file with Certificate

Reflow

Reflow is a function that rearranges page content when the page size changes. It is useful for applications that have output devices with difference sizes. Reflow frees the applications from considering layout for different devices. This function provides APIs to create, render, release and access properties of ‘reflow’ pages.

Example:

How to create a reflow page and render it to a bmp file

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"

#include "include/fs_render_c.h"
... 
// Assuming FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE doc has been loaded.
FS_PDFPAGE_HANDLE page;
FSDK_PDFDoc_GetPage(doc, 0, page);
// Parse PDF page.
FS_PROGRESSIVE_HANDLE progressive;
FSDK_PDFPage_StartParse(page, e_FSParseFlagsParsePageNormal, NULL, false, progressive);
FS_REFLOWPAGE_HANDLE reflow_page;
FSDK_ReflowPage_Create(page, reflow_page);
// Set some arguments used for parsing the reflow page.
FSDK_ReflowPage_SetLineSpace(reflow_page, 0);
FSDK_ReflowPage_SetZoom(reflow_page, 100);
FSDK_ReflowPage_SetParseFlags(reflow_page, e_FSReflowPageFlagsNormal);
// Parse reflow page.
FS_PROGRESSIVE_HANDLE progressive1;
FSDK_ReflowPage_StartParse(reflow_page, NULL, progressive1);

Asynchronous PDF

Asynchronous PDF technique is a way to access PDF pages without loading the whole document when it takes a long time. It’s especially designed for accessing PDF files on internet. With asynchronous PDF technique, applications do not have to wait for the whole PDF file to be downloaded before accessing it. Applications can open any page when the data of that page is available. It provides a convenient and efficient way for web reading applications. For how to open and parse pages with asynchronous mode, you can refer to the simple demo “async_load” in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder of the download package.

Pressure Sensitive Ink

Pressure Sensitive Ink (PSI) is a technique to obtain varying electrical outputs in response to varying pressure or force applied across a layer of pressure sensitive devices. In PDF, PSI is usually used for hand writing signatures. PSI data are collected by touching screens or handwriting on boards. PSI data contains coordinates and canvas of the operating area which can be used to generate appearance of PSI. Foxit PDF SDK allows applications to create PSI, access properties, operate on ink and canvas, and release PSI.

Example:

How to create a PSI and set the related properties for it

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfpage_c.h"
#include "include/fs_psi_c.h"
FS_PSI_HANDLE psi;
FSDK_PSI_Create0(480, 180, true, psi);
// Set ink diameter.
FSDK_PSI_SetDiameter(psi, 9);
// Set ink color.
FSDK_PSI_SetColor(psi, 0x434236);
// Set ink opacity.
FSDK_PSI_SetOpacity(psi, 0.8f);
// Add points to pressure sensitive ink.
float x = 121.3043f;
float y = 326.6846f;
float pressure = 0.0966f;
FSPointType type = e_FSTypeMoveTo;
FSPointF point;
point.x = x;
point.y = y;
FSDK_PSI_AddPoint(psi, point, type, pressure);
...

Wrapper

Wrapper provides a way for users to save their own data related to a PDF document. For example, when opening an encrypted unauthorized PDF document, users may get an error message. In this case, users can still access wrapper data even when they do not have permissions to the PDF content. The wrapper data could be used to provide information like where to get decryption method of this document.

Example:

How to open a document including wrapper data

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfpage_c.h"
#include "include/fs_render_c.h"
// file_name is PDF document which includes wrapper data.
FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE doc;
FSDK_PDFDoc_Create0(input_file.c_str(), doc);
FSErrorCode code = FSDK_PDFDoc_Load(doc_wrapper, NULL);
if (e_FSErrSuccess) {
    FSDK_PDFDoc_Release(doc); 
    return false;
}
FS_BOOL return_iswrapper;
FSDK_PDFDoc_IsWrapper(doc, return_iswrapper);
if(!return_iswrapper){
    return false;
}
FS_INT64 offset;
FSDK_PDFDoc_GetWrapperOffset(doc, offset);
FileReader file_reader(offset);
file_reader.LoadFile(wstring2string(file_name).c_str());
...

PDF Objects

There are eight types of object in PDF: Boolean object, numerical object, string object, name object, array object, dictionary object, stream object and null object. PDF objects are document level objects that are different from page objects (see 3.23) which are associated with a specific page each. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to create, modify, retrieve and delete these objects in a document.

Example:

How to remove some properties from catalog dictionary

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfobject_c.h"
...
// Assuming FS_PDFDOC_HANDLE doc has been loaded.
FS_PDFDICTIONARY_HANDLE catalog;
FSDK_PDFDoc_GetCatalog(doc, catalog); 
if (NULL == catalog) return;
const char* key_strings[] = { "Type", "Boolean", "Name", "String", "Array", "Dict"};
int count = sizeof(key_strings)/sizeof(key_strings[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < count; i ++) {
  FS_BOOL return_HasKey;
  FSDK_PDFDictionary_HasKey(catalog, key_strings[i], return_HasKey);
  if (return_HasKey)
      FSDK_PDFArray_RemoveAt(catalog, i);
}
...

Page Object

Page object is a feature that allows novice users having limited knowledge of PDF objects (see 3.22 for details of PDF objects) to be able to work with text, path, image, and canvas objects. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to add and delete PDF objects in a page and set specific attributes. Using page object, users can create PDF page from object contents. Other possible usages of page object include adding headers and footers to PDF documents, adding an image logo to each page, or generating a template PDF on demand.

Example:

Marked content

In PDF document, a portion of content can be marked as marked content element. Marked content helps to organize the logical structure information in a PDF document and enables stylized tagged PDF. Tagged PDF has a standard structure types and attributes that allow page content to be extracted and reused for other purposes. More details about marked content could be found in chapter 10.5 of PDF reference 1.7 [1].

Layer

PDF Layers, in other words, Optional Content Groups (OCG), are supported in Foxit PDF SDK. Users can selectively view or hide the contents in different layers of a multi-layer PDF document. Multi-layers are widely used in many application domains such as CAD drawings, maps, layered artwork and multi-language document, etc.

In Foxit PDF SDK, a PDF layer is associated with a layer node. To retrieve a layer node, user should create a PDF FS_LAYERTREE_HANDLE object first and then call function FSDK_LayerTree_GetRootNode to get the root layer node of the whole layer tree. Furthermore, you can enumerate all the nodes in the layer tree from the root layer node. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to get/set layer data, view or hide the contents in different layers, set layers’ name, add or remove layers, and edit layers.

Example:

How to create a PDF layer

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"

Signature

PDF Signature module can be used to create and sign digital signatures for PDF documents, which protects the security of documents’ contents and avoids it to be tampered maliciously. It can let the receiver make sure that the document is released by the signer and the contents of the document are complete and unchanged. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to create digital signature, verify the validity of signature, delete existing digital signature, get and set properties of digital signature, display signature and customize the appearance of the signature form fields.

Note: Foxit PDF SDK provides default Signature callbacks which supports the following two types of signature filter and subfilter:

(1) filter: Adobe.PPKLite subfilter: adbe.pkcs7.detached

(2) filter: Adobe.PPKLite subfilter: adbe.pkcs7.sha1

If you use one of the above signature filter and subfilter, you can sign a PDF document and verify the validity of signature by default without needing to register a custom callback.

Long term validation (LTV)

Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to establish long term validation of signatures, which is mainly used to solve the verification problem of signatures that have already expired. LTV requires DSS (Document Security Store) which contains the verification information of the signatures, as well as DTS (Document Timestamp Signature) which belongs to the type of time stamp signature.

In order to support LTV, Foxit PDF SDK provides:

Support for adding the signatures of time stamp type, and provides a default signature callback for the subfilter “ETSI.RFC3161”.

TimeStampServerMgr and TimeStampServer classes, which are used to set and manager the server for time stamp. The default signature callback for the subfilter “ETSI.RFC3161” will use the default time stamp server.

LTVVerifier class which offers the functionalities of verifying signatures and adding DSS information to documents. It also provides a basic default RevocationCallback which is required by LTVVerifier.

Following lists an example about how to establish long term validation of signatures using the default signature callback for subfilter “ETSI.RFC3161” and the default RevocationCallback. For more details, please refer to the simple demo “ltv” in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder of the download package.

PAdES

Foxit PDF SDK also supports PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signature) which is the application for CAdES signature in the field of PDF. CAdES is a new standard for advanced digital signature, its default subfilter is “ETSI.CAdES.detached”. PAdES signature includes four levels: B-B, B-T, B-LT, and B-LTA.

B-B: Must include the basic attributes.

B-T: Must include document time stamp or signature time stamp to provide trusted time for existing signatures, based on B-B.

B-LT: Must include DSS/VRI to provide certificates and revocation information, based on B-T.

B-LTA: Must include the trusted time DTS for existing revocation information, based on B-LT.

Foxit PDF SDK provides a default signature callback for the subfilter “ETSI.CAdES.detached” to sign and verify the signatures (with subfilter “ETSI.CAdES.detached”). It also provides TimeStampServerMgr and TimeStampServer classes to set and manager the server for time stamp. The default signature callback for the subfilter “ETSI.CAdES.detached” will use the default time stamp server.

Foxit PDF SDK provides functions to get the level of PAdES from signature, and application level can also judge and determine the level of PAdES according to the requirements of each level. For more details about how to add, sign and verify a PAdES signature in PDF document, please refer to the simple demo “pades” in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder of the download package.

PDF Action

PDF Action is represented as the base PDF action class. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to create a series of actions and get the action handlers, such as embedded goto action, JavaScript action, named action and launch action, etc.

Example:

JavaScript

JavaScript was created to offload Web page processing from a server onto a client in Web-based applications. Foxit PDF SDK JavaScript implements extensions, in the form of new objects and their accompanying methods and properties, to the JavaScript language. It enables a developer to manage document security, communicate with a database, handle file attachments, and manipulate a PDF file so that it behaves as an interactive, web-enabled form, and so on.

JavaScript action is an action that causes a script to be compiled and executed by the JavaScript interpreter.

The JavaScript methods and properties supported by Foxit PDF SDK are listed in the appendix.

Example:

Redaction

Redaction is the process of removing sensitive information while keeping the document’s layout. It allows users to permanently remove (redact) visible text and images from PDF documents to protect confidential information, such as social security numbers, credit card information, product release dates, and so on.

Redaction is a type of markup annotation, which is used to mark some contents of a PDF file and then the contents will be removed once the redact annotations are applied.

To do Redaction, you can use the following APIs:

Call function FSDK_Redaction_Create to create a redaction module. If module “Redaction” is not defined in the license information which is used in function FSDK_Library_Initialize, it means user has no right in using redaction related functions and this constructor will throw exception e_FSErrInvalidLicense.

Then call function FSDK_Redaction_MarkRedactAnnot to create a redaction object and mark page contents (text object, image object, and path object) which are to be redacted.

Finally call function FSDK_Redaction_Apply to apply redaction in marked areas: remove the text or graphics under marked areas permanently.

Note: To use the redaction feature, please make sure the license key has the permission of the ‘Redaction’ module.

Example:

Comparison

Comparison feature lets you see the differences in two versions of a PDF. Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to compare two PDF documents page by page, the differences between the two documents will be returned.

The differences can be defined into three types: delete, insert and replace. You can save these differences into a PDF file and mark them as annotations.

Note: To use the comparison feature, please make sure the license key has the permission of the ‘Comparison’ module

OCR

Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is a software process that enables images or printed text
to be translated into machine-readable text. OCR is most commonly used when scanning paper
documents to create electronic copies, but can also be performed on existing electronic
documents (e.g. PDF).

From version 9.0, Linux x64 platform supports OCR feature, and the OCR engine has been upgraded, please contact Foxit support team or sales team to get the latest engine files package.

This section will provide instructions on how to set up your environment for the OCR feature module using Foxit PDF SDK for Windows (C API).

System requirements

Platform: Windows, Linux (x64)

Programming Language: C, C++, Java, Python, C#

License Key requirement: ‘OCR’ module permission in the license key

SDK Version: Foxit PDF SDK for Windows (C++, Java, C#) 6.4 or higher; Foxit PDF SDK (C) 7.4 or higher; Foxit PDF SDK for Windows (Python) 8.3 or higher; Foxit PDF SDK for Linux x64 (C++, Java, C#, Python) 9.0

Trial limit for SDK OCR add-on module

For the trial version, there are three trail limits that you should notice:

Allow 30 consecutive natural days to evaluate SDK from the first time of OCREngine initialization.

Allow up to 5000 pages to be converted using OCR from the first time of OCREngine initialization.

Trail watermarks will be generated on the PDF pages. This limit is used for all of the SDK modules.

OCR resource files

Please contact Foxit support team or sales team to get the OCR resource files package.

After getting the package, extract it to a desired directory (for example, extract the package to a directory named “ocr_addon”), and then you can see the resource files for OCR are as follows:

How to run the OCR demo

Foxit PDF SDK for C API provides an OCR demo located in the “\examples\simple_demo\ocr” folder to show you how to use Foxit PDF SDK to do OCR for a PDF page or a PDF document.

Load the OCR demo in Visual Studio

To load the OCR demo in your specific environment, please choose one of the following ways:

Load the visual studio solution files “simple_demo_vs2010.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2015.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2017.sln” (depending on your Visual Studio version) in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder. Right-click the ocr demo, choose Set as StartUp Project.

Load the “ocr_vs2010.vcxproj” or “ocr_vs2015.vcxproj” or “ocr_vs2017.vcxproj” (depending on your Visual Studio version) in the “\examples\simple_demo\ocr” folder.

Build an OCR resource directory

Before running the OCR demo, you should first build an OCR resource directory, and then pass the directory to Foxit PDF SDK API FSDK_OCREngine_Initialize to initialize OCR engine.

To build an OCR resource directory, please follow the steps below:

Create a new folder to add the resources. For example, “D:/ocr_resources”.

Add the appropriate library resource based on the platform architecture.

For win32, copy all the files under “ocr_addon/win32_lib” folder to “D:/ocr_resources”.

For win64, copy all the files under “ocr_addon/win64_lib” folder to “D:/ocr_resources”.

Add the language resource.

For CJK (Chinese-Simplified, Chinese-Traditional, Japanese, and Korean), copy all the files under “ocr_addon/language_resource_CJK” folder to “D:/ocr_resources”.

For all other languages except CJK, copy all the files under “ocr_addon/language_resources_noCJK” folder to “D:/ocr_resources”.

For all the supported languages, copy all the files under “ocr_addon/language_resource_CJK” and “ocr_addon/language_resources_noCJK” folders to “D:/ocr_resources”.

(Optional) Add debugging file resource if you need to debug the demo.

For win32, copy the file(s) under “ocr_addon/debugging_files/win32” folder to “D:/ocr_resources”.

For win64, copy the file(s) under “ocr_addon/debugging_files/win64” folder to “D:/ocr_resources”.

Note: The debugging files should be exclusively used for testing purposes. So, you cannot distribute them.

Configure the demo

After building the OCR resource directory, configure the demo in the “\examples\simple_demo\ocr\ocr.cpp” file.

Specify the OCR resource directory

Add the OCR resource directory as follows, which will be used to initialize the OCR engine.

Choose the language resource

You will need to set the language used by the OCR engine into the demo code. This is done with the FSDK_OCREngine_SetLanguages method and is set to “English” by default.

(Optional) Set log for OCREngine

If you want to print the entire log of the OCR Engine, you can call FSDK_OCREngine_SetLogFile method as below:

// Set log for OCREngine. (This can be opened to set log file if necessary)
FSDK_OCREngine_SetLogFile((output_directory+L"ocr.log").c_str());

Run the demo

Once you run the demo successfully, the console will print the following by default:

The demo will OCR the default document (“\examples\simple_demo\input_files\ocr\AboutFoxit_ocr.pdf”) in four different ways, which will output four different PDFs in the output folder (“\examples\simple_demo\output_files\ocr”):

OCR Editable PDF – ocr_doc_editable.pdf

OCR Searchable PDF – ocr_doc_searchable.pdf

OCR Editable PDF Page – ocr_page_editable.pdf

OCR Searchable PDF Page – ocr_page_searchable.pdf

Compliance

PDF Compliance

Foxit PDF SDK supports to convert PDF versions among PDF 1.3, PDF 1.4, PDF 1.5, PDF 1.6 and PDF 1.7. When converting to PDF 1.3, if the source document contains transparency data, then it will be converted to PDF 1.4 instead of PDF 1.3 (PDF 1.3 does not support transparency). If the source document does not contain any transparency data, then it will be converted to PDF 1.3 as expected.

PDF/A Compliance

PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of the PDF specialized for use in the archiving and long-term preservation of electronic documents. PDF/A differs from PDF by prohibiting features unsuitable for long-term archiving, such as font linking (as opposed to font embedding), encryption, JavaScript, audio, video and so on.

Foxit PDF SDK provides APIs to convert a PDF to be compliance with PDF/A standard, or verify whether a PDF is compliance with PDF/A standard. It supports the PDF/A version including PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2a, PDF/A-2b, PDF/A-2u, PDF/A-3a, PDF/A-3b, PDF/A-3u (ISO 19005- 1, 19005 -2 and 19005-3).

This section will provide instructions on how to set up your environment for running the ‘compliance’ demo.

System requirements

Platform: Windows, Linux, Mac

Programming Language: C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Objective-C

License Key requirement: ‘Compliance’ module permission in the license key

SDK Version: Foxit PDF SDK (C++, Java, C#, Objective-C) 6.4 or higher (for PDF Compliance, it requires Foxit PDF SDK 7.1 or higher); Foxit PDF SDK (C) 7.4 or higher; Foxit PDF SDK (Python) 8.3 or higher

Compliance resource files

Please contact Foxit support team or sales team to get the Compliance resource files package.

After getting the package, extract it to a desired directory (for example, extract the package to a directory: “compliance/win“), and then you can see the resource files for Compliance are as follows:

How to run the compliance demo

Foxit PDF SDK provides a compliance demo located in the “\examples\simple_demo\compliance” folder to show you how to use Foxit PDF SDK to verify whether a PDF is compliance with PDF/A standard, and convert a PDF to be compliance with PDF/A standard, as well as convert PDF versions.

Build a compliance resource directory

Before running the compliance demo, you should first build a compliance resource directory, and then pass the directory to Foxit PDF SDK API FSDK_ComplianceEngine_Initialize to initialize compliance engine.

To build a compliance resource directory, please follow the steps below:

Create a new folder to add the resources. For example, “D:/compliance_resources”.

Copy the whole folders of “ect“, “lang“, “var” under the “compliance/win” to “D:/compliance_resources”.

Add the appropriate library resource based on the platform architecture.

For win32, copy all the files under “compliance/win/lib/x86” folder to “D:/compliance_resources”.

For win64, copy all the files under “compliance/win/lib/x64” folder to “D:/compliance_resources”.

For example, use win32 platform architecture, then the compliance resource directory should be as follows:

Configure the demo

After building the compliance resource directory, configure the demo in the “\examples\simple_demo\compliance\compliance.cpp” file.

To load the compliance demo in Visual Studio, please choose one of the following ways:

Load the visual studio solution files “simple_demo_vs2010.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2015.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2017.sln” (depending on your Visual Studio version) in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder. Right-click the compliance demo, choose Set as StartUp Project.

Load the “compliance_vs2010.vcxproj” or “compliance_vs2015.vcxproj” or “compliance_vs2017.vcxproj” (depending on your Visual Studio version) in the “\examples\simple_demo\compliance” folder.

Specify the compliance resource directory

In the “compliance.cpp” file, add the compliance resource directory as follows, which will be used to initialize the compliance engine.

Note: If you have purchased an authorization license key (includes ‘Compliance’ module permission), Foxit sales team will send you an extra unlock code for initializing compliance engine.

Note:

If you are using a trial key for Foxit PDF SDK, you do not need to authorize the compliance engine library.

If you are using an authorization key for Foxit PDF SDK, Foxit sales team will send you an extra unlock code for initializing compliance engine library. Pass the unlock code to the initialize function “FSDK_ComplianceEngine_Initialize(compliance_resource_folder_path.c_str(), compliance_engine_unlockcode)”.

(Optional) Set language for compliance engine

FSDK_ComplianceEngine_SetLanguage function is used to set language for compliance engine. The default language is “English”, and the supported languages are as follows:

“Czech”, “Danish”, “Dutch”, “English”, “French”, “Finnish”, “German”, “Italian”, “Norwegian”, “Polish”, “Portuguese”, “Spanish”, “Swedish”, “Chinese-Simplified”, “Chinese-Traditional”, “Japanese”, “Korean”.

For example, set the language to “Chinese-Simplified”.

// Set languages. If not set language to ComplianceEngine, "English" will be used as default.
FSDK_ComplianceEngine_SetLanguage("Chinese-Simplified");

(Optional) Set a temp folder for compliance engine

FSDK_ComplianceEngine_SetTempFolderPath function is used to set a temp folder to store several files for proper processing (e.g verifying or converting). If no custom temp folder is set by this function, the default temp folder in system will be used.

For example, set the path to “D:/compliance_temp” (should be a valid path).

// Set custom temp folder path for ComplianceEngine. 
FSDK_ComplianceEngine_SetTempFolderPath(L"D:/compliance_temp");

Run the demo

Once you run the demo successfully, the console will print the following by default:

The demo will

verify whether the PDF (“\examples\simple_demo\input_files\AboutFoxit.pdf”) is compliance with PDF/A-1a standard, and convert the PDF to be compliance with PDF/A-1a standard.

convert PDF file (“\examples\simple_demo\input_files\AF_ImageXObject_FormXObject.pdf”) to PDF-1.4 and PDF-1.7.

The output files are located in “\examples\simple_demo\output_files\compliance” folder.

Optimization

Optimization feature can reduce the size of PDF files to save disk space and make files easier to send and store, through compressing images, deleting redundant date, discarding useless user data and so on. Optimization module provides functions to compress the color/grayscale/monochrome images in PDF files to reduce the size of the PDF files.

Note: To use the Optimization feature, please make sure the license key has the permission of the ‘Optimization’ module.

How to run the pdf2office demo

Foxit PDF SDK for Windows provides a pdf2office demo located in the “\examples\simple_demo\pdf2office” folder to show you how to use Foxit PDF SDK to convert PDF files to MS office suite formats.

Configure the demo

For pdf2office demo, you can configure the demo in the “\examples\simple_demo\pdf2office\pdf2office.cpp” file.

To load the pdf2office demo (for Windows) in Visual Studio, please choose one of the following ways:

Load the visual studio solution files “simple_demo_vs2010.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2015.sln” or “simple_demo_vs2017.sln” (depending on your Visual Studio version) in the “\examples\simple_demo” folder. Right-click the pdf2office demo, choose Set as StartUp Project.

Load the “pdf2office_vs2010.vcxproj” or “pdf2office_vs2015.vcxproj” or “pdf2office_vs2017.vcxproj” (depending on your Visual Studio version) in the “\examples\simple_demo\pdf2office” folder.

Specify the pdf2office engine directory

In the “pdf2office.cpp” file, add the path of the engine file “pdf2office” as follows, which will be used to convert PDF files to office files.

// Please ensure the path is valid.
FSDK_PDF2Office_Initialize(L"D:/foxitpdfconversionsdk_win/lib/fpdfconversionsdk_win32.dll");

Specify the pdf2office metrics data files

FSPDF2OfficeSettingData setting_data;
// Please ensure the path is valid.
wstring metrics_data_folder_path = L"D:/foxitpdfconversionsdk_win/res/metrics_data";
setting_data.metrics_data_folder_path.str = (wchar_t*)metrics_data_folder_path.c_str(); 
setting_data.metrics_data_folder_path.len = metrics_data_folder_path.length();

(Optional) Specify whether to enable machine learning-based recognition functionality

setting_data.enable_ml_recognition = false;

Run the demo

Once you run the demo successfully, the console will print the following by default:

The output files are located in “\examples\simple_demo\output_files\pdf2office” folder.

FAQ

How to fix the “‘xcopy’ exited with code 9009″ error when building demos in Visual Studio?

When building demos in Visual Studio, if you encounter the error “‘xcopy’ exited with code 9009” as follows:

'xcopy ..\..\..\..\..\..\lib\gsdk_sn.txt ..\..\..\ /y > null
xcopy ..\..\..\..\..\..\lib\gsdk_key.txt ..\..\..\ /y > null
xcopy ..\..\..\..\..\..\lib\$(PlatformName)_vc10\fsdk.dll ..\..\..\ /y > null
xcopy ..\..\..\..\..\..\lib\$(PlatformName)_vc10\fsdk_dotnet.dll ..\..\..\ /y > null' exited with code 9009

Please check the following points:

Check whether the xcopy.exe is in the “%SystemRoot%\System32″ directory, if not, copy one from another machine.

Check whether the system PATH environment variables have been set correctly. It should contain “%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%;“, if the environment variables for xcopy is right, but it still reports the error, please put the path of xcopy in front of others. Maybe some other environment variables have spell mistakes, so that cause the subsequent environment variables are invalid. Please check it.

After checking, open a command prompt, type xcopy command, if it can be recognized, close Visual Studio, and restart the demos. The error should be fixed.

How do I get text objects in a specified position of a PDF and change the contents of the text objects?

To get text objects in a specified position of a PDF and change the contents of the text objects using Foxit PDF SDK, you can follow the steps below:

Open a PDF file.

Load PDF pages and get the page objects.

Use FSDK_PDFPage_GetGraphicsObjectsAtPoint to get the text object at a certain position. Note: use the page object to get rectangle to see the position of the text object.

Change the contents of the text objects and save the PDF document.

Following is the sample code:

#include "include/fs_basictypes_c.h"
#include "include/fs_common_c.h"
#include "include/fs_pdfdoc_.h"

Can I change the DPI of an embedded TIFF image?

No, you cannot change it. The DPI of the images in PDF files is static, so if the images already exist, Foxit PDF SDK does not have functions to change its DPI.

The solution is that you can use third-party library to change the DPI of an image, and then add it to the PDF file.

Note: Foxit PDF SDK provides a function “FSDK_Image_SetDPIs” which can set the DPI property of an image object. However, it only supports the images that are created by Foxit PDF SDK or created by function “FSDK_Image_AddFrame”, and it does not support the image formats of JPX, GIF and TIF.

Why do I encounter “Fail to initialize the engine file or cannot load the engine file” for OCR module on Windows 7 when running the OCR simple demo, even if the engine file has been upgraded to the latest and the engine path in the demo has been configured correctly?

For Windows 7, you need to copy the dll files starting with api-ms-win* and the ucrtbase.dll in the engine directory to the system directory.

If you are using a 32-bit engine and running on a 32-bit system, you need to copy the api-ms-win*.dll files and ucrtbase.dll from the engine directory to “C:/Windows/System32”.

If you are using a 32-bit engine and running on a 64-bit system, you need to copy the api-ms-win*.dll files and ucrtbase.dll from the engine directory to “C:/Windows/SysWOW64”.

If you are using a 64-bit engine, you need to copy the api-ms-win*.dll files and ucrtbase.dll from the engine directory to “C:/Windows/System32”.

How to run the Office2PDF functionality in Windows services?

To run the Office2PDF functionality in Windows services, you need to configure the Office Component Services and permissions.

Take the Word component as an example.

Press Win+R, and then type Dcomcnfg to open Component Services, find [Component Services] -> [Computers] -> [DCOM Config] -> [Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document], right-click it and select Properties. Choose [Identity], and set it to “The interactive user“.

Note: if you can’t find [Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document] with Dcomcnfg command, you can try to use the “comexp.msc -32” command.

Set permissions. click [Security], set the [Launch and Activation Permissions] and [Access Permissions] to Customize. Click Edit, and add the current login account of the system and enable all permissions.

After finishing the above settings, the Word2PDF functionality can be run in the Windows services.
