Important Note
All the samples that are provided in this documentation assume that the developer is using the ActiveX version (PDFCreactiveX.dll.)
When using the .NET version (acPDFCreatorLib.Net.Dll), the functions are very similar although the code slightly different. Rather than duplicating all the documentation and sample code, we have chosen to provide a complete .NET sample at the end of this documentation.
