L_SetPDFOptions

Summary

Sets the file options used by LEADTOOLS when loading PDF, PS or EPS files.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTFIL_API L_INT L_SetPDFOptions(pOptions)

Parameters

pFILEPDFOPTIONS pOptions

Pointer to a structure that contains the options to use when loading PDF, PS or EPS files.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The FILEPDFOPTIONS.uStructSize member must be set before calling this function. If a PDF, PS or EPS file is loaded without first calling this function, the following default values will be used:

FILEPDFOPTIONS Member	Default value
bUseLibFonts	TRUE
nDisplayDepth	24
nTextAlpha	4
nGraphicsAlpha	1

The values set by this function are valid for the current thread. To change the values used by the current thread, this function must be called again.

Both font and graphics anti-aliasing slow down the drawing of the resulting bitmap.

Font and graphics anti-aliasing can only be used if nDisplayDepth is 8 or greater.

Example

This example loads a PDF file, with a display depth defined by the user and without using font anti-aliasing
