How to call pdfprintsdk.dll from 64bit EXE application?

We are planning to use VeryPDF PDFPrint for our project to print the pdf file silently. I have gone through both PDFPrint Command Line and PDFPrint SDK. PDFPrint Command Line works fine for my requirement, but I wanted to know whether PDFPrint SDK supports 64 bit system? I found in one of you article that PDFPrint SDK doesn't supports 64 bit system. Can you please confirm and clarify on this?
