How to use text as clipping path?

As mentioned earlier the usage of text as clipping path is not the same as a normal clipping path.

The following example shows how a text can be used for clipping:

Example (C++):

#include "dynapdf.h"

using namespace DynaPDF;

// First we declare an error callback function.

SI32 PDF_CALL PDFError(const void* Data, SI32 ErrCode, const char*

ErrMessage, SI32 ErrType)

{

printf("%s\n", ErrMessage);

return 0; // We ignore non-fatal errors

}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

void* pdf = pdfNewPDF();

if (!pdf) return 2; // Out of memory?
