PDFlib Text Extraction Toolkit (TET) Manual

A section for each of the resource categories listed at the beginning of the file. Each
section starts with a line showing the resource category, followed by an arbitrary
number of lines describing available resources. The list is terminated by a line with a
single period character. Each resource data line contains the name of the resource
(equal signs have to be quoted). If the resource requires a file name, this name has to
be added after an equal sign. The searchpath (see below) will be applied when TET
searches for files listed in resource entries.
Sample UPR file.
The following listing gives an example of a UPR configuration file:

File search and the searchpath resource category. In addition to relative or absolute
path names you can supply file names without any path specification to TET. The
searchpath resource category can be used to specify a list of path names for directories
containing the required data files. When TET must open a file it will first use the file
name exactly as supplied, and try to open the file. If this attempt fails, TET will try to
open the file in the directories specified in the searchpath resource category one after
another until it succeeds. Multiple searchpath entries can be accumulated, and will be
searched in reverse order (paths set at a later point in time will searched before earlier
ones). In order to disable the search you can use a fully specified path name in the TET
functions.
On Windows TET initializes the searchpath resource category with a value read from
the following registry keys:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\PDFlib\TET4\4.2\SearchPath
HKLM\SOFTWARE\PDFlib\TET4\SearchPath
HKLM\SOFTWARE\PDFlib\SearchPath
These registry entries may contain a list of path names separated by a semicolon ’;’
character. The Windows installer initializes the SearchPath registry entry with the name
of the resource directory in the TET installation directory.
Note Be careful when manually accessing the registry on 64-bit Windows systems: as usual, 64-bit
binaries work with the 64-bit view of the Windows registry, while 32-bit binaries running on a
64-bit system work with the 32-bit view of the registry. If you must add registry keys for a 32-bit
