Referencing And Deploying the Assembly
The easiest way to reference and deploy DynamicPDF PrintManager in your project is by installing the NuGet package directly within Visual Studio's Package Manager. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions to reference and manually deploy the assembly.
NOTE: We recommend installing using the NuGet package, as this is the easiest and least error-prone installation method.
Referencing From NuGet
You can install the NuGet Package from directly within Visual Studio's Package Manager.
- NuGet: ceTe.DynamicPDF.Printing.NET (https://www.nuget.org/packages/ceTe.DynamicPDF.Printing.NET)
Manual Installation
To install manually, download the assembly from the DynamicPDF website. The downloaded ZIP file (DynamicPDFPrintManagerForNETv4.xx.zip) contains the .NET assemblies.
| Assembly Name | Assembly Version | .NET Framework Version | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| DynamicPDF.Printing.NETFramework40.dll | 4.x.x | 4.x | AnyCPU |
| DynamicPDF.Printing.NETStandard20.dll | 4.x.x | .NET Framework Version 2.0 | AnyCPU |
Referencing the Assembly
To reference the assembly from Visual Studio, open your project's references window (right-click on the project and select "Add Reference..."). Then, from the Add Reference window, select the "DynamicPDF PrintManager for .NET (Framework 4.x)" from the list on the ".NET" tab. Select OK to complete the selection.
32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) Versions
The DynamicPDF.Printing DLLs are both built using the AnyCPU option and therefore do not require different 32-bit or 64-bit builds and can run natively in either 32-bit or 64-bit environments.
| Assembly | .NET Framework Version | Native Files | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| DynamicPDF.Printing.NETFramework40.dll | 4.x | Native\DPDFPrintNative_XXX.dll | AnyCPU |
| DynamicPDF.Printing.NETStandard20.dll | .NET Framework Version v2.0 | Native\DPDFPrintNative_XXX.dll | AnyCPU |
Licensing
In addition to deploying the DLL files with your application, a license key must be added to remove the watermark. A license key can either be added to a .config file or counted as a line of code in the application. Retrieve license keys from the Customer Area of our website, https://www.dynamicpdf.com/CustomerArea, after purchasing an appropriate serial number.
