Getting Started

To get started get a Token by dropping us an email or registering in our portal.

The Token is required for Authentication. The Pdf4me Client Api provides you already with the necessary implementation. You need only to get an instance for the Pdf4meClient as shown in the sample below.

using Pdf4me.Client;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace TestConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            Pdf4meClient.Instance.Init("sample-not-working-token-aaaaaaa");

            var req = new Optimize()
            {
                Document = new Document()
                {
                    DocData = File.ReadAllBytes(@"c:\test.pdf"),
                    Name = "test.pdf",
                },

                OptimizeAction = new OptimizeAction()
                {
                    Profile = OptimizeActionProfile.Max,
                    UseProfile = true,
                }
            };

            var optimizedDocument = Pdf4meClient.Instance.PdfClient.OptimizeAsync(req).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

        }
    }
}
