Getting Started: TCP Edition

Installation

During installation, the QuickPDFTCP0813.exe file will be copied into the directory you specify, for example C:\Program Files\Quick PDF Library\TCP\

Run the following command to install the service:

"C:\Program Files\Quick PDF Library\TCP\QuickPDFTCP0813.exe" /install

Setting the IP address and port

In the same directory you will find a settings file called QuickPDFTCP0813.ini. This file can be edited to change the IP address and port that the TCP service listens on:

IPAddress=127.0.0.1

Port=10005

Starting the service

Run the following command to start the service:

net start QuickPDFTCPService0813

Using the C# class

A C# client is available in the [installation folder]\TCP\Client\CSharp directory.

Here is an example program:

QuickPDFTCP0813.Client qp = new QuickPDFTCP0813.Client();

if (qp.Connect("127.0.0.1", 10005))

{

    if (qp.UnlockKey("your license key here") == 1)

    {

        qp.DrawText(100, 500, "Hello from C# via TCP/IP");

        qp.SaveToFile("C:\\test.pdf");

    }

}

Note that all directories are relative to the server.

Using the C++ class

A C++ client is available in the [installation folder]\TCP\Client\CPlusPlus directory.

Here is an example program:

QuickPDFTCP0713 qp;

if (qp.Connect("127.0.0.1", 10005))

{

    std::cout << "LibraryVersion = ";

    std::cout << qp.LibraryVersion() << std::endl;

    qp.UnlockKey("your license key here");

    qp.DrawText(100, 500, "Hello from C++ via TCP/IP");

    qp.SaveToFile("C:\\test.pdf");

}
