Python 2.x Pre-compiled PDF library integration

This guide will help you run Apryse samples and integrate a free trial of the Apryse SDK into Python application on macOS. Your free trial includes unlimited trial usage and support from solution engineers.

• Python 2.7.x

• Apryse precompiled Python/Ruby SDK for macOS:

Download the SDK

Download

1. Download the Python and Ruby prebuilt binaries. Make sure you download the right architecture for your Python interpreter.
2. Extract the downloaded zip file and navigate to it.
3. Navigate to the /PDFNetC/Lib directory of the Python SDK download and execute:

1chmod a+x fix_rpaths.sh
2./fix_rpaths.sh

1. Get your Apryse trial key.

Run a specific sample

1. Navigate to the PYTHON folder in the sample, for example /Samples/PYTHON and execute ./RunTest.sh.

Run all samples

1. To run all tests, navigate to /Samples and execute the runall_python file:

1./runall_python.sh

The tests will run one by one.

This section will show you how to use our SDK to create a simple Apryse "Hello World!" application. It will create a document with one blank page and save it as a linearized PDF in its running directory.

1. Navigate to the /Samples directory and create a new directory called myApp (if it does not exist already). This guide will assume your application is named myApp. For organization, create a new directory inside myApp called PYTHON.
2. Navigate inside that PYTHON directory and create a new Python file called myApp.py. Open it with your favorite text editor and paste this into it:

1import site
2# below is the relative path to Apryse PDFNetC libraries
3site.addsitedir("../../../PDFNetC/Lib")
4import sys
5from PDFNetPython import *
6
7def main():
8    PDFNet.Initialize("YOUR_APRYSE_LICENSE_KEY")
9    doc = PDFDoc()
10    page = doc.PageCreate()         # Start a new page
11    doc.PagePushBack(page)          # Add the page to the document
12    doc.Save("output.pdf", SDFDoc.e_linearized);  # Save the document as a linearized PDF
13    print("Hello World!")
14
15if __name__ == '__main__':
16    main()

1. Run your application via python myApp.py. If all goes well your output should read:

1PDFNet is running in demo mode.
2Permission: write
3Hello World!

Check the output.pdf that the program output in the same directory. It should be a PDF with one blank page.

This guide will help you run Apryse samples and integrate a free trial of the Apryse SDK into Python application on Linux. Your free trial includes unlimited trial usage and support from solution engineers.

• Python 2.7.x

• Apryse SDK for Linux:

Download the SDK

download 64-bit for Linux

Download the SDK

download 32-bit for Linux

1. Download the Python and Ruby prebuilt binaries. Make sure you download the right architecture for your Python interpreter.
2. Extract via tar xvzf PDFNetWrappersLinux64.tar.gz or tar xvzf PDFNetWrappersLinux32.tar.gz.
3. Get your Apryse trial key.
