Licencing & Versions
- Having downloaded and installed the software the
system watermarks all PDFs with an unobtrusive banner.
With the exception of the watermark, the free download version is exactly the same as the
licenced version. You therefore ensure that the
software meets your requirements before buying. After payment of the
licence fee you simply email us your serial
number (in Scan to PDF look at the Help menu /
About ScanToPDF option) and we reply with your
licence number. Entering the licence number removes
the watermark from all future PDFs.
- Licences are issued on a 'per seat' basis. Licences
can be transferred on payment of an administration
fee. Corporate licence details are
available on request. Please contact
us for details.
- We endeavour to respond with your licence number
within the shortest time possible but please note that
international time differences, weekends and UK public
holidays may sometimes cause a delay.
Application Integration
- The simplest method of integration is for your application
to launch Scan POD To PDF passing the PDF filename and path as a switch.
For example, in C# this would be achieved with the following code:
//contractId will have been assigned by your application
string pdfPath=@"//docserver/pdfarchive/contracts/" + contractId + ".pdf";
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psInfo =new
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
psInfo.FileName=@"C:\Program Files\O Imaging Corporation\ScanToPDF\scantopdf.exe";
psInfo.Arguments="/autoscan /pdfpath=" + pdfPath + "/terminateaftersave";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psInfo);
And here's some example code for scanning a supplier invoice document to PDF from within an Access Database application:
Dim pdfpath As Variant
Dim pdfname As Variant
Dim progpath As Variant
Dim progswitches As Variant
Dim x%
pdfname = "SI123456" '//set by your application
pdfpath = "//server/works order pdfs/" & pdfname & ".pdf"
progpath = "C:\Program Files\O Imaging Corporation\ScanToPDF\scantopdf.exe"
progswitches = " /autoscan /terminateaftersave /pdfpath=""" & pdfpath & """"
x% = Shell(progpath & progswitches, vbNormalFocus)
Scan POD to PDF can be integrated with your application
software via a number of methods. These methods
include:
- Active X dll
- COM Objects
- .NET Assemblies
- SQL script database updates
- XML file write/read
