Hello World (C++) - SDK sample

Note: To be able to use the samples you must install novaPDF SDK as samples work only with it. Download it here: nova PDF SDK.
Notice If you do not use Windows API calls to print to novaPDF Printer, but you perform a print job by calling other controls "Print()" method, or if you print an existing document using "ShellExecute()" function, you should check the MFC Converter sample instead.

Sample Code:

// HelloWorld.cpp
#include "stdafx.h" 

//Include novaPDF headers
#include "..\..\include\novaOptions.h"
#include "..\..\include\novapi.h"

//name of novaPDF Printer
#define PRINTER_NAME    L"novaPDF Pro v6"

//text to be written in the PDF file
#define PDF_TEXT        L"Hello world!"

//PDF file name
#define PDF_FILE_NAME   L"HelloWorld.pdf"

//Print profile name
#define PROFILE_NAME       L"HelloWorld Profile"
#define PROFILE_IS_PUBLIC  0

//entry point for the console application
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
HRESULT hr = S_OK;

//initialize COM

//initialize NovaPdfOptions and pass printer name
//if you have an application license for novaPDF SDK,
//pass both the registration name and the license key to the Initialize() function
