This topic applies to FRE for Windows.
This section provides the description of loading and unloading ABBYY FineReader Engine in C (Objective-C).
- Include this code when importing the FREngine.h header file:
/* C */
#define __RPC__deref_out
#define COBJMACROS
#include <FREngine.h>
/* Objective-C */
#define interface _COM_interface
#define __RPC__deref_out
#define COBJMACROS
#import <FREngine.h>
#undef interface
- Use the following code for loading and unloading FREngine.dll:
typedef HRESULT (*initializeEngine_ptr) (BSTR, BSTR, BSTR, BSTR, BSTR, VARIANT_BOOL, IEngine **);
typedef HRESULT (*DeinitializeEngine_ptr) (void);
static IEngine* FREngine;
static HMODULE FREngineDll;
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
initializeEngine InitializeEngine=NULL;
DeinitializeEngine_ptr DeinitializeEngine=NULL;
// provide your Customer Project ID here, and if applicable, the Online License information
wchar_t *customerProjectId = L"";
wchar_t *licensePath = L"";
wchar_t *licensePassword = L"";
FREngineDll = LoadLibraryEx("<path to FREngine.dll>", 0, LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH);
if(FREngineDll) {
InitializeEngine = (InitializeEngine_ptr) GetProcAddress(FREngineDll,"InitializeEngine");
if(InitializeEngine)
InitializeEngine(customerProjectId, licensePath, licensePassword, "", "", FALSE, &FREngine);
}
ProcessImage();
IEngine_Release( FREngine );
DeinitializeEngine = (DeinitializeEngine_ptr) GetProcAddress(FREngineDll,"DeinitializeEngine");
DeinitializeEngine();
}
- All other calls to ABBYY FineReader Engine can use the C macros defined in the FREngine.h header file.
void ProcessImage()
{
IFRDocument* frDocument = NULL;
IEngine_CreateFRDocument( FREngine, &frDocument );
IFRDocument_AddImageFile( frDocument, L"<path to a source image>", NULL, NULL );
IFRDocument_Process( frDocument, NULL, NULL, NULL );
IFRDocument_Export( frDocument, L"<path to an output file>", FEF_PDF, NULL );
IFRDocument_Release( frDocument );
}
