Go PDF library integration

This guide will help you run Apryse samples and integrate the Apryse SDK into Go applications on Windows. Your free trial includes unlimited trial usage and support from solution engineers.

• Go (>= 1.15)
• Git

1. Create a directory for your project and a main.go file within. Add the following code to your main.go.

package main

import (
    . "github.com/pdftron/pdftron-go/v2"
)


func main() {
    PDFNetInitialize("YOUR_APRYSE_LICENSE_KEY");
    doc := NewPDFDoc()
    page := doc.PageCreate()     // Start a new page
    doc.PagePushBack(page)       // Add the page to document
    doc.Save("output.pdf", uint(SDFDocE_linearized)); // Save the document as a linearized PDF
    doc.Close()
}

2. Initialize your go.mod

go mod init

3. Fetch the dependencies for your project.

go get

4. Set your PATH to point to the shared libraries in pdftron-go in your current command shell. Replace your_version with the version of pdftron-go you are running.

set PATH=%PATH%;%GOPATH%/pkg/mod/github.com/pdftron/pdftron-go/v2@your_version/shared_libs/win/Lib

Or in your powershell

$env:PATH += ';$env:GOPATH/pkg/mod/github.com/pdftron/pdftron-go/v2@your_version/shared_libs/win/Lib'

You may also copy the DLL files from the above path to the same place as your project executable.

4. Run your created application.

go run main.go

1. Navigate to your go path where you installed the library, and search for our repository. It may be within this path based on your version of Golang.

$GOPATH/pkg/mod/github.com/pdftron/pdtron-go/v2@version

2. Navigate to the ./samples directory and modify the runall_go.bat and set your LICENSE_KEY. If using Apryse modules such as CAD, MODULE_PATH to the directory where your modules are stored.

3. Run the runallgo.bat. All sample tests will be run. a. If you wish to run a specific test, this can be done by specifying the test ./runall_go.bat AddImageTest

PDFNet is running in demo mode.
Permission: write
Done!

Output files will be created in ./TestFiles/Output

This can be done by modifying your go.mod via this command in your project directory.

go mod edit -require github.com/pdftron/pdftron-go/v2@v2.0.0`
go get
