In Your Integration Code

The PDFreactor license key can be set in your PDFreactor integration. Just copy the contents of the license key file (e.g. “licensekey.txt”) and set it on the configuration object as a string like this:

Java

config.setLicenseKey("<license>...</license >");

PHP

$config["licenseKey"] = "<license>...</license>";

.NET

config.licenseKey = "<license>...</license>";

JavaScript/Node.js

config.licenseKey = "<license>...</license>";

Python

config["licenseKey"] = "<license>...</license>"

Ruby

config["licenseKey"] = "<license>...</license>"

Perl

$config->{"licenseKey"} = "<license>...</license>";

Command Line

--licenseKey "<license>...</license>"

In the File System

Integrators that use the PDFreactor Web Service with one of the appropriate APIs can also just copy the license key file to the “PDFreactor/jetty-base-pdfreactor/lib/ext” directory, where it will be used automatically by PDFreactor. In this case, make sure that the license key file's name has the following format: "licensekey.txt", "licensekey_XXXX.txt" or "licensekey_XXXX_DEV.txt" (with XXXX representing your license serial number).

If you are using the PDFreactor command line or the PDFrea

If you are using the old command line (java -jar pdfreactor.jar) or the PDFreactor Preview application, just copy the license key file to the same directory as the JAR file (PDFreactor/lib).

When using other Java web application servers, copy the license key file into the same directory where the "pdfreactor-webservice.jar" is located.

In Your PDFreactor Web Service Config

Integrators that use the PDFreactor Web Service can use server parameters to specify the license key's location. The server parameter "licenseKeyPath" specifies a file system path to a directory where the "licensekey.txt" file is located, the server parameter "licenseKeyUrl" specifies a URL. Server parameters can e.g. be set as system properties in the "PDFreactor/jetty-base-pdfreactor/start.d/main.ini":

-Dcom.realobjects.pdfreactor.webservice.licenseKeyPath=/var/licenses

-Dcom.realobjects.pdfreactor.webservice.licenseKeyUrl=http://myServer/myLicense

In Docker

When using the official PDFreactor Docker image, you can mount the license key file to the following path:

/ro/config/licensekey.txt
