Solid Framework to PDFNet Migration

SolidFramework to PDFNet

The PDFNet Structured Output Module is based on SolidFramework version 10.0.13386. Therefore, if you are running an older version of SolidFramework then you should review the following Changelog for any important changes between your current version and SolidFramework 10.0.13386. Once completed, you can continue with the rest of this guide.

https://solidframework.net/release-notes/

If you are new to PDFNet, please check out our PDF2Office sample application.
