Start (ImageKit Control/ PDF Method)

This method begins the PDF creation process.

[Visual Basic] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.File.PDF.Start

[Visual C++] [ BOOL = ]imagekitcontrolname.GetFile().GetPDF().Start()

[VB.NET] [ Boolean = ]imagekitcontrolname.File.PDF.Start()

[C#.NET] [ bool = ]imagekitcontrolname.File.PDF.Start()

Parameters

None

Return Value

Returns True (nonzero) if successful. Returns False (0) if unsuccessful.

Explanation

The Start method begins the PDF creation process. Before executing this method, set the OwnerPassword and UserPassword properties.

The Start method is used with the AddImage, AddPage, and End methods.

Example

(1)Visual Basic
ImageKit1.File.FileName = "C:\PNG\load.png"
If (ImageKit1.File.FileLoadAsRawData() = False) Then Exit Sub

ImageKit1.File.PDF.OwnerPassword = "abcd"

ImageKit1.File.PDF.Author = "Newtone Corp."
ImageKit1.File.PDF.EnablePrint = True
If (ImageKit1.File.PDF.Start() = False) Then
ImageKit1.FreeMemory(ImageKit1.File.ImageHandleRawData)
Exit Sub
End If

ImageKit1.File.PDF.DocumentSize = "A4"
ImageKit1.File.PDF.AddPage()
ImageKit1.File.PDF.AddImage(ImageKit1.File.ImageHandleRawData, 30, 50, 100)
ImageKit1.File.PDF.EndPage()

ImageKit1.File.PDF.SavePDFFileName = "C:\PDF\save.pdf"
ImageKit1.File.PDF.End()

ImageKit1.FreeMemory(ImageKit1.File.ImageHandleRawData)

(2)Visual C++
ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().SetFileName("C:\\PNG\\load.png");

if (ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().Start() == FALSE)
{

}

ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().SetDocumentSize("A4");
ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().AddPage();
ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().AddImage(ImageKit1.GetFile().GetImageHandleRawData(), 30, 50, 100);
ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().EndPage();

ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().SetSavePDFFileName("C:\\PDF\\save.pdf");
ImageKit1.GetFile().GetPDF().End();

ImageKit1.FreeMemory(GetFile().GetImageHandleRawData());

(3)VB.NET

ImageKit1.File.PDF.End()

ImageKit1.FreeMemory(ImageKit1.File.ImageHandleRawData)

(4)C#.NET
