Running PDFTron Go in your project

   set PATH=%GOPATH%/pkg/mod/github.com/pdftron/pdftron-go/v2@your_version/shared_libs/win/Lib
   

   You may also copy these directly to your project directory.

2. Create a main.go in your project directory

package main

import (
    . "github.com/pdftron/pdftron-go/v2"
)


func main() {
    PDFNetInitialize("myLicenseKey:");
    // do work
}

3. go build && run your created executable

Running PDFTron Go samples

2. Navigate to the ./samples directory and modify the runall_go.sh (runall_go.bat on Windows) and set your LICENSE_KEY and if using modules such as CAD, MODULE_PATH to the directory where your modules are stored.

3. Run the runallgo.sh (runall_go.bat on Windows). All sample tests will be run. a. If you wish to run a specific test, this can be done by specifying the test ./runall_go.sh AddImageTest

   Output files will be created in `TestFiles/Output``
