DLI Initialization now Required
Initialization of DLI is now required; support for using DLI without initialization has
been removed. If you intend to use DLI methods in your application, you must
intialize DLI via dlpdfinit. DLI users should initialize the Adobe PDF Library
through the DLI initialization call; PDFLInit and PDFLTerm should never be
directly called from a DLI application.
All DLI documents require an instance for creation. The
dlpdfdoccreatewithinstance call has been removed from the API, and the
dlpdfinit and dlpdfdoccreate call have been modified significantly (see
“Functions Updated” on page 1.18). DLI should only be initialized once per process.
Streaming PostScript Removed
All PostScript output is produced using the Adobe PDF Library. Support for
streaming PostScript created by DLI has been removed. This facility was previously
deprecated in the DLI v2.2 series.
PDF Image Import Improvements
PDF image import has been enhanced as of DLI v3.0.13. The value of the imported
PDF file's Rotate key, if present, is now honored. Images are imported by DLI and
placed in the rotated orientation displayed by Adobe Reader and Acrobat.
For the dlpdfimagecreatefrompdf call, a value of 0 is now accepted for the
Width and Depth parameters. If either are 0, then the PDF page's crop box is used to
form the DLPDFIMAGE's visible region. This will be shifted using the XDisp and
YDisp values to generate the imported image.
