============================================ System Requirements for PDFlib GmbH Products ============================================ Latest change: 2019-06-04 This document describes the requirements for using PDFlib GmbH binaries on various platforms. This list covers all platforms on which at least one product is supported. It should not be construed as a commitment regarding the availability of product/platform combinations. To find out whether a PDFlib GmbH product is supported on a particular platform please check the downloadable binary packages which are available at www.pdflib.com. ================================ Note on 64-bit Intel platforms ================================ Intel uses the term "Intel 64" for a processor architecture which is known by several other names: - Microsoft and Oracle call it x64 - AMD calls it AMD64 - Linux systems often refer to x86_64 PDFlib GmbH binaries for Intel 64 work on all architectures listed above. Because of the vendor-specific conventions we continue to use the term "x64" instead of "Intel 64" in the context of Oracle and Microsoft operating systems. ================================ Java on all platforms ================================ Java 1.5 or above is required for the Java binding. ================================ Windows ================================ Requirements: Windows 7/8/10 on x86 or x64 Windows Server 2008 and above on x86 or x64 C and C++ bindings ------------------ Project files for the programming samples are available for Visual Studio 2015. Newer versions of Visual Studio convert these automatically. ================================ .NET Core and .NET Framework ================================ We offer two variants of the .NET binding: Classic .NET binding -------------------- The document PDFlib-in-.NET-HowTo.pdf discusses configuration details for the classic .NET binding such as required runtime DLLs. The classic .NET binding is implemented as C++/CLI assembly using C++ Interop. It supports the following target environments: - Windows x86 and x64 - .NET Framework 4.x With ASP.NET 2.0 and above the .NET editions of PDFlib GmbH products require Full Trust level. They do not work with any other trust level such as High or Medium Trust. .NET Core binding ----------------- The .NET Core binding is implemented as C# assembly using C# Interop with unmanaged code in an auxiliary DLL. It supports the following target environments: - Windows x64, Linux x64, macOS - .NET Standard 2.0 - .NET Framework 4.6.1 and above The examples are written for Target Framework netcoreapp2.0. In order to deploy them with other Target Frameworks please adjust the project files. ================================ Linux ================================ Requirements: GLIBC 2.3 (or later) based system on x86 SSE2 support is required for x86-compatible CPUs GLIBC 2.4 (or later) based system on Intel 64 C and C++ bindings ------------------ Compiler: x86: g++ 3.4 or above (g++ 4.0 or above recommended) Intel 64: g++ 4.0 or above Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl bindings ------------------------------------------- x86 and Intel 64: libstdc++.so.6 ================================ Alpine Linux ================================ Requirements: Alpine Linux 3.4 and above Dedicated binaries are required for Alpine Linux since the system is based on musl libc (instead of glibc). ================================ macOS ================================ Requirements: macOS 10.9 and above on x86/x64 Since macOS 10.8 the Gatekeeper protection feature blocks unsigned applications. This applies to all PDFlib GmbH command line tools. If you want to use these tools you must inform the system that it is a safe application. Override Gatekeeper by Control-clicking the application icon and select "Open" from the top of the context menu. This must be done only once per user account. C, C++, and Objective-C bindings -------------------------------- Compiler: Xcode 8 or above ================================ FreeBSD ================================ Requirements: x86: FreeBSD 10/11 and compatible systems Intel 64: FreeBSD 10/11 and compatible systems ================================ AIX ================================ Requirements: AIX 5.2 and compatible systems; currently AIX 6/7 C and C++ bindings ------------------ Compiler: XLC 8.0 or above: you must use a thread-safe variant of the compiler (such as xlC_r). g++ is unsupported, but may work with the following options: CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS: -mxl-compat -pthread LDFLAGS: -lC -pthread ================================ iOS ================================ Requirements: - Runtime requirements: iOS 8 or above on 32-bit or 64-bit - development requirements: Xcode 6.3 or above - supported language bindings: Objective-C, C, C++ ================================ Android ================================ Requirements: supported architectures: arm, arm64, x86 runtime requirements for arm and x86: API level 16 and above runtime requirements for arm64: API level 21 and above supported language bindings: Java and C/C++ for NDK ================================ Solaris ================================ Requirements: Solaris 8 and above on x86, x64, or sparc C and C++ bindings ------------------ Compiler: Oracle Solaris Studio CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS: "-mt -lpthread" g++ is unsupported, but may work with the following options: CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS: -pthread LDFLAGS: -lCstd -lCrun -pthread ================================ i5/iSeries ================================ Note that not all products are available for i5/iSeries. Please refer to www.pdflib.com regarding the use of AIX 32-bit binaries on i5 systems with PASE. General requirements: OS V6 R1 M0 and compatible systems Requirements for using PDFlib GmbH products with PHP: - Zend Server for IBM i or Zend Server Community Edition (CE) for IBM i (requires PASE for i, which is a no-charge option of IBM i) - PHP 5.4 or above - The binaries from the AIX 32-bit package must be used (not from the i5/iSeries package) ================================ zSeries ================================ Requirements: z/OS 1.6 and compatible systems with USS (32-bit/64-bit) or MVS (32-bit) (MVS versions of PDFlib GmbH products are not thread-safe) or zLinux 32-bit or 64-bit (s390/s390x) GLIBC 2.19 (or later) based system. C/C++ binding ------------- CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS: -W "c,float(ieee)"
