The dynapdf class.

A pdf library to create, modify, import pdf files.
You need a separate dynapdf license key for this class.

Please note that all constants have the prefix k. In the dynapdf_help.pdf file, the constants don't have a k prefix. And the C functions there have IPDF parameters which the plugin automatically passes for you. So

SI32 pdfSetPageCoords(const void* IDPF, TPageCoord PageCoords)

translates in Xojo to

function SetPageCoords(PageCoords as Integer) as Integer

and you call it like this:

call pdf.SetPageCoords pdf.kpcTopDown

where in this sample the DynaPDF object is named pdf.

Pro license is required for the following functions:

  • BeginTransparencyGroup
  • ConvertColors
  • Create3DAnnot
  • CreateSoftMask
  • FlattenForm
  • GetPageText
  • ImportPage and ImportPageEx
  • ParseContent
  • RenderAnnotOrField
  • RenderPage
  • SetCMapDir
  • SetExtColorSpace, SetExtFillColorSpace and SetExtStrokeColorSpace.
  • SetUseGlobalImpFiles

  • AddRenderingIntent and AddRenderingIntentEx
  • CreateFormFields

  • ConvertEMFSpool
  • CreateCollection
  • CreateExtGState
  • InsertMetafile and InsertMetafileEx
  • OpenImportBuffer, OpenImportFile and OpenImportStream

And all functions relaying on those functions internally.
