Sample Run Guide (Windows C++) ​

Sample location:

  • The office2pdf sample is located in the \examples\simple_demo\office2pdf directory. The configuration below uses Windows C++ as an example.

Configuration steps:

  1. Build the office2pdf resource directory:

    • Extract the Foxit Conversion SDK resource package to a specified directory.
    • For the extracted directory structure, see Foxit Conversion SDK — Package Structure.
    • This sample configuration uses DLL library files from the \lib directory in the resource package and data files from the res\office2pdf directory.

  2. Configure the sample:

    • Edit \examples\simple_demo\pdf2office\office2pdf.cpp to configure the sample.

    • Configure library files:

      • Based on your CPU architecture, set the engine_path parameter to the full path of the corresponding dynamic library file (win32.dll or win64.dll) in the \lib directory of the resource package.
      c++
      WString engine_path = L"path/lib/fpdfconversionsdk_win64.dll"; // 请替换为正确的引擎路径。
foxit::addon::conversion::Convert::FromWord(word_file_path, L"", output_path, engine_path, word_convert_setting_data);

    • Specify resource data:

      • Set the office2pdf_setting_data.resource_folder_path parameter to the full path of the res\office2pdf directory in the resource package.
      c++
      office2pdf_setting_data.resource_folder_path = L"path/res/office2pdf";

  3. Run the sample:

    • After configuration is complete, see Run Samples for instructions on running the sample.
