DynaPDFMBS.AddFontSearchPath(path as folderitem, recursive as boolean = true) as Integer
Function:
This function adds a search path to the list of available font search paths.
Notes:
This function adds a search path to the list of available font search paths. An arbitrary number of search paths can be added at runtime. Subdirectories are included recursively if the parameter Recursive is true.
DynaPDF requires no separate metric files for Type1 fonts.
The list of search directories can be cleared at runtime with the function ClearHostFonts().
If system fonts are enabled (default) DynaPDF adds the default font directories of the operating system automatically to the list of font search paths (Windows and Mac OSX only, see SetUseSystemFonts() for further information). On Windows this is the %Windows%/Fonts directory as well as fonts listed in the Registry and linked fonts.
On Mac OSX the following directories are added to the list of font search paths (in this order):
If the function succeeds the function returns the number of found font files (this is maybe not the number of available fonts, because the list is cleared each time all fonts in the list are processed during font selection). If the function fails a negative error code is returned.
Please call this method on Linux to get fonts loaded from your font folder.

DynaPDFMBS.AddImage(Filter as Integer, Flags as Integer, Image as DynaPDFImageMBS) as boolean
Function:
Adds an image to the current image file.
Notes:
For the filter you use one of the kcf* constants.
For the flags you use either kicNone of kicUseCCITT4.
TIFF is the only format that supports different compression filters. The Filter parameter of the function AddImage() is ignored if the image format supports only one specific compression filter.
Note that images are automatically converted to the nearest supported color space if the image format does not support the color space of the image.

DynaPDFMBS.AddInkList(InkAnnot as UInt32, points() as DynaPDFPointMBS) as boolean
Function:
Adds an array of points or path to an Ink Annotation.
Notes:
The function must be called within an open page.
An ink annotation can contain an arbitrary number of paths. The points will be connected by curves to achieve a smooth transition between points. The coordinates are treated in current user space. Any transformation that was applied on the coordinate system will be taken into account.
If the number of points is zero then all paths will be deleted from the annotation.
Returns true on success.
