Migrating from PDF Tools to Core API

Post by gmyers »

We are evaluating the Core API SDK version 7.0.325.1. We have used the PDF Tools SDK for a number of years and versions. Our existing code uses PXC_GetContentDC extensively. Does the new API provide similar functionality?

Hello gmyers,

We don't have the direct analogy for now, though we will try to add the similar methods after the 326 release (327 hopefully).
Meanwhile, you can try using the IPXC_ContentCreator:
viewtopic.php?f=67&t=30562&p=123133&hil ... or#p123133
It will provide you a much better way for the content manipulation.
Also, check out this project - it's still a new one but we are updating it frequently - we should release a part with the content work samples soon:

In the documentation for the 331 release, I see there are methods IIXC_Page::GetPageDC and IIXC_Page::ReleasePageDC but there is not much in the way of description. Are these the methods that fill the same role as PXC_GetContentDC?

Hello gmyers,

No, these are the IIXC_Page methods that are not connected to the IPXC level at all.
Look at the CoreAPIDemo project that I've mentioned before - now it has many samples that you can work with.

Cheers,
Alex
