The SDK is designed for single-threaded processing, meaning only one API method can be executed at a time within a single process. Any methods invoked from other threads will wait until the preceding one completes.
If there's a need to handle multiple concurrent calls, it's advised to utilize separate processes instead.
- Windows 7 and newer, Windows Server 2016 and newer (The latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019)
- macOS 10.15 and newer
- Ubuntu 16.04 and newer, Debian 10 and newer, CentOS 8 and newer
- Methods extracting text from the PDF content randomly replace characters with "*"
- Rasterized images may contain logo watermark
- Saved PDFs may have redacted parts of the content
PDFix SDK can be autorized using an activation key or using the name, key pair.
Software can be authorized using an activation key. After activating the software operates on the computer according to the license. Internet connection is necessary for occasional license updates.
In the case of error: 1239 "VM detection dll not found or tempered" download the VM detection dll and copy to the same directory as pdfix_app.
Using the command line:
$ ./pdfix_app license --activate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Note to PHP users: Depending on the configuration the PHP may operate in a safe mode under a virtual user (e.g. www-data). In such a case the license should be activated separately with PHP.
Step 1: Create activation request file
./pdfix_app license --activate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX --request --license-path license.req
Step 2: Send the license.req file to [email protected] along with the license key to create a license activation file. Once you receive the license.lic file follow to the next step.
Step 3: Activate the license from file
./pdfix_app license --activate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX --license-path license.lic
Code examples: (follow the same steps as with CLI)
c++ samples StandardLicenseCreateOfflineActivationFile.cpp, StandardLicenseActivateOffline.cpp
Note: When moving license to another computer the license should be deactivated.
Command line example:
$ ./pdfix_app license --deactivate
Code example: c++
Command line example:
$ ./pdfix_app license --deactivate --license-path deactivate.req
Code example: c++
The activated license information is stored on computer under the current user account. The default local license storage is in the following directories:
- Windows:
<user>\AppData\Local\.pdfixsdk - MacOS:
<user>/Library/Application Support/.pdfixsdk - Linux:
<user>/.pdfixsdk
Custom location can be set by setting the license data path and file name in the settings JSON as follows:
{
"user": {
"license_data_path" : "<local_folder>",
"license_file_name" : "MyLicenseLey.txt"
}
}
Command-line use:
$ ./pdfix_app [SUBCOMMAND] [OPTIONS] --settings-path <path_to_json>
The license is updated automatically when running the software. When an instant update is needed the following command should be executed:
Command line example:
$ ./pdfix_app license --update
Code example: c++
Software can be authorized using a name and key. The name key pair should be used every time the PDFix SDK is used.
Command line example:
$ ./pdfix_app extract-data --input test.pdf --email your@email --key XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Code example: c#
The current license status can be saved into JSON.
Command line example:
$ ./pdfix_app license --status
Code example: c++
