Could you tell me if I can use your products for generating PDFs from my Cocoa application, written on Swift5 for Mac OS X?

Hello Team,
My question is can I use PDFTron for generating PDFs from my Cocoa application, written on Swift5 for Mac OS X. And is there any sample xcode project for it.

Yes definitely you can do this. You have two options.
i. Use the ObjC API of our macOS SDK

PDFTron Systems Inc. | Documentation

ii. Use Catalyst and the Swift API of our iOS SDK

If Catalyst is not compatible with Cocoa then option (i) definitely will, and Swift can directly use OBJC APIs I believe.

@Ryan

ObjC

thanx, sir for your reply,
is there any difference between “ObjC API macOS SDK” and “Catalyst”,
Like some functions are working on objC and some not working on Catalyst.
Or both are the same.

[Ryan]

Great question.

The underlying SDK is identical yes, there would not be any functional differences.

Thank you @Ryan for your answer.
