Using the C/C++ API

This section provides details about using the SDK with the C/C++ API.

Part II contains the following chapters:

Windows Implementation Details
This chapter describes the implementation of the Image Export SDK on the Windows platform. The Windows implementation of this software is delivered as a set of DLLs. For a list of the currently supported platforms, see: Outside In Technology and click links under Certified Platforms and Supported Formats from Get Started page.

UNIX Implementation Details
This chapter describes the implementation of the Image Export SDK on the UNIX platform. The UNIX implementation of the Export product set is delivered as a set of shared libraries.

Data Access Common Functions
This chapter describes common Data Access functions. The Data Access module is common to all Outside In technologies. It provides a way to open a generic handle to a source file. This handle can then be used in the functions described in this chapter.

Export Functions
This chapter outlines the basic functions used to initiate the conversion of documents using the Image Export API.

Redirected IO
This chapter describes the use of Redirected IO. Anywhere a file specification (dwSpecType and pSpec parameters) is passed to a function in the product, the developer may use Redirected IO to completely take over responsibility for the low level IO calls of that particular file. The source file and all output files can be redirected in this way.

Callbacks
This chapter describes the use of callbacks in Image Export. Callbacks allow the developer to intervene at critical points in the export process.

Image Export C/C++ Options
Options are parameters affecting the behavior of an export or transformation. These options are available to the developer when using Image Export. This chapter presents the C/C++ options relevant to the Image Export product.
