The DynamicPDF API consists of the following endpoints. - `dlex-layout` - `image-info` - `pdf` - `pdf-info` - `pdf-security-info` - `pdf-text` - `pdf-xmp` For more information, please visit [DynamicPDF API](https://dpdf.io/ "DynamicPDF API Homepage"). Support for other languages/platforms (PHP, C#, Node.js) is available on GitHub ([DynamicPDF API at GitHub](https://github.com/dynamicpdf-api "DynamicPDF API at GitHub")). Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [PHP 7.4.0 or higher](https://www.php.net/) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Use Composer to install the client library. You can also download a zip file that you can use to install the client library manually. ### Composer [](#composer) The preferred method is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). Install Composer as follows. - Install Composer if not already installed ([installation instructions](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md)). - Ensure the `ext_curl` extension is enabled in your `php.ini` file ([installation instructions](https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.php)). - Execute the following command in your project root folder. ``` composer update ``` ### Manual Installation [](#manual-installation) To manually install the client library, download the zip file from [Github](https://codeload.github.com/dynamicpdf-api/php-client/zip/refs/heads/main). Unzip the php-client-library on your local machine and then use the library in you local code by requiring the following file. ``` require_once '/src/DpdfAPI.php' ``` A sample file, `PdfExample.php` is included in the zip file demonstrating its use.
