Add ComPDFKit Conversion SDK Package ​

Once Xcode creates the project, add the ComPDFKit_Conversion.xcframework to it by following steps:

  • In the Project navigator, click on the project name at the top of the left sidebar.

  • Click on the target you want to add the framework to.

  • Select the General tab at the top of the main editor area.

  • Scroll down to the Linked Frameworks and Libraries section.

  • Click the + button to add a new framework.

    • In the dialog that appears, select "ComPDFKit_Conversion.framework", and click Add. Drag ComDocumentAIKit.framework into the folder of your Xcode project, then select Copy items if needed and Create groups options in the pop-up window.

    • Add these files into your Xcode project as we did in the step above(if your project is based on MacOS)：libDocumentAI3.3.1.dylib, libonnxruntime.1.14.1.dylib, libpaddle2onnx.1.0.6.dylib, libopencv_world.4.2.dylib.

    • Add these files into your Xcode project as we did in the step above: "CDocumentAIResource.bundle".

    • Ensure that the Embed option for the content added in General -> Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content is set to Embed & Sign.

    • Ensure that the Signing Certificate option in Signing & Capabilities -> Signing is set to Development.

Now that you've added the "ComPDFKit_Conversion.xcframework" to your project. Don't forget to import the framework where you want to use it in your project's code:

objective-c
#import <ComPDFKit_Conversion/ComPDFKit_Conversion.h>
