Package Contents

To get started with the Export SDK, unzip the package to a directory on your machine.

TIP: The Export SDK packages for non-Windows platforms store the correct file permissions for the files in the SDK (for example, some files must be executable) . OpenText recommends that you unzip the SDK on the platform where you intend to use it. If you unzip the SDK on Windows and then copy the files to a non-Windows machine, the file permissions might be lost.

The Export SDK contains:

  • Libraries and executable files necessary for converting source documents into high-quality PDF files (see Files Required for Redistribution).

  • The include files that define the functions and structures used by the application to establish an interface with Export (see the include directory for PDF Export).

  • The sample program cnv2pdf, which demonstrates PDF Export functionality.

  • Sample files to test PDF Export functionality.
