COM Interface
There's 3 methods

[in] BSTR bstrName,
[in] BSTR bstrKey,
[out, retval] long* pbRetVal);
VerifyLicense is the method must be called before
all other methods.
It's to verify the run time license information.
@param BSTR bstrName: The register name
@param BSTR bstrKey: The register key code.
@param long* pbRetVal: 1 If verify license
cuccessfully.
0 If something wrong with the name/key
This variable always be set to 1 in trial version
@return S_OK
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
2. HRESULT EngageProcessor(
[in] int i_CtrlFlag,
[in] BSTR i_bstrPageRange,
[in] BSTR i_bstrPageBreaker);
EngageProcessor is a helper method. It sets the
page range /page breaker
and other control flag for the following converting
process. This function
Don't need to be called if you just want output the
whole pdf file to text
file without any special control.
@param int i_CtrlFlag: The contrl flags you can
pass in to control the
behavior of the PDF Processor.
The CtrlFlag can be the following value or
their's
combination
PDF_OUTPUTPROCESSDETAIL 0x01
PDF_OUTPUTPROCESSTIME 0x10
PDF_OUTPUTRANGE
0x20
PDF_OUTPUTPDFINFO
0x40
PDF_OUTPUTPROCESSDETAIL: Output the detail
information of processing
The output string will be return by pbstrRetVal
in Convert method, See Convert for detail.
PDF_OUTPUTPROCESSTIME: Output the process time
for every pdf file.
The output string will be return by pbstrRetVal
in Convert method, See Convert for detail.
PDF_OUTPUTRANGE: Knowledge the processor only a
subset of pages
need to be output, the page range pass in through
i_bstrPageRange. see i_bstrPageRange.
PDF_OUTPUTPDFINFO: Knowledge the processor to
output the document's
information of current pdf to the beginning of the
output text file.
@param BSTR i_bstrPageRange: The PageRange string
to identify which pages
should be output example: "1,5,2-18,20,23"
This paramter will be check if PDF_OUTPUTRANGE
flag was set.
@param BSTR i_bstrPageBreaker: The string that
seperate each page.
example: "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My Document~~~~~Page:
%%NUM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
@return S_OK
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
3. HRESULT Convert(
[in] BSTR bstrPDF,
[in] BSTR bstrTXT,
[out, retval] BSTR* pbstrRetVal);
@param BSTR bstrPDF: The absolute path and file
name of the pdf file you
want to convert.
@param BSTR bstrTXT: The absolute path and file
name of the text file you
want to convert to.
@param BSTR* pbstrRetVal: The result and detail
process/process time information
will return by this pointer(If you set the control flag
in EngageProcessor)
@return S_OK: Process the pdf file successfully. Check *pbstrRetVal
for detail
information.
