'Usage
 
Dim resourcePath As String
 
ImGearPDF.Initialize(resourcePath)

public static void Initialize( 
   string resourcePath
)

public: static void Initialize( 
   string* resourcePath
) 

public:
static void Initialize( 
   String^ resourcePath
) 

Parameters

resourcePath

Path to PDF/PS library. If null or empty, ImageGear attempts to find it automatically, as when Initialize is called without arguments.

A call to an Initialize() method should be paired with a call to the Terminate method. The very first call to Initialize() will initialize the entire PDF library, while its paired call to Terminate method will de-initialize and release its memory. Multiple PDF initialization/termination pairs are supported in a multi-threaded PDF application, because it is required to initialize and terminate PDF in each child thread.

PDF support requires ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Add(ImGearPDF.CreatePDFFormat()) call be made before the first call to ImGearPDF.Initialize().

PS support requires both ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Add(ImGearPDF.CreatePDFFormat(path)) and ImGearFileFormats.Filters.Add(ImGearPDF.CreatePSFormat(path)) calls be made before the first call to ImGearPDF.Initialize(path).
