Overview

Opait PDF Library contains classes and interfaces for creating and modifying PDF documents.

The library is entirely written in the C# language for .NET version 4.7.2 or higher. It has no other dependencies.

The following files will be installed:

Opait.Pdf.dll is the main assembly that you will reference in your applications.
OPaitPdf.exe is a utility program that allows you to manage your license and check for updates to the library.

```
Copy the license file to the same directory as the new application executable.

In these two scenarios, the authentication is automatic and you don't need to call any other functions.

You can also explicitly authenticate using the following static library functions:

You can use the second function above to embed the license file as a resource in your application.
