How to Integrate PDF to TXT COM/SDK with Embacadero Delphi on Windows 10 & 11 (64-Bit)

Understanding the Need for PDF to TXT COM/SDK

Recently, many developers expressed interest in adding the PDF to TXT COM/SDK to their applications. However, they faced challenges related to the availability of the required DLLs for 64-bit applications. While the trial version worked flawlessly in 32-bit mode, users could not locate the necessary components for 64-bit functionality.

Initial Concerns Raised by Customers

  1. 64-Bit DLL Availability: Customers reported that upon downloading the free trial software package, they were unable to find the required 64-bit DLLs, leading to functionality issues when attempting to run their applications in 64-bit mode.
  2. Developer License Clarification: Potential customers sought confirmation that the PDF to TXT SDK Developer License would indeed include all components necessary for integrating the software into 64-bit applications.

VeryPDF's Response to Customer Queries

VeryPDF promptly addressed these concerns. Here’s a summary of the key points discussed:

  • Developer License Requirement: To integrate the PDF2TXT SDK into your applications, you need to purchase the Developer License. A Server License alone is insufficient for this purpose.
  • Pricing: The cost for a PDF2TXT SDK Developer License is USD $1500.00 per developer license. You can conveniently purchase it directly from the VeryPDF website via the following links:
  • Royalty-Free Redistribution: The Developer License allows you to integrate the software into your developed applications and redistribute it royalty-free. If the software includes source codes, you also have the right to modify and reuse those codes.

    Dim oTest
dim nRet

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = fso.GetParentFolderName(wscript.ScriptFullName)
destinationPath = strFolder & "\verypdf.pdf"

Set oTest = CreateObject("PDF2TXTCOM.PDF2TXT")
oTest.com_SetTXTFormat 1
oTest.com_SetZoomRatio 90
oTest.com_PDF2TXTSetLicenseCode("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
nRet = oTest.com_Pdf2Txt(strFolder & "\sample1.pdf", strFolder & "\sample1-pdf2txt.txt")
nRet = oTest.com_Pdf2TxtEx(strFolder & "\sample1.pdf", strFolder & "\sample1-pdf2txtEx.txt", 0, 0, "", "")
MsgBox "Convert Success!"
