Dim LicenseKey
Dim ImageName
Dim OutputFile

LicenseKey = "..." //' SET YOUR LICENSE KEY HERE...
ImageName = "C:\Temp\Winter.jpg"
OutputFile = "C:\Temp\Winter.pdf"

Dim Result

Result = QP.UnlockKey(LicenseKey)

If Result = 1 Then

//' Load the image that you'd like to add to the PDF

QP.AddImageFromFile ImageName, 0
