File Content Extraction 26.2
PDF Export SDK C Programming Guide

# fpShutDown()

This function terminates a PDF Export session that was initialized by fpInit(), and frees allocated system resources. Call this function when the conversion context is no longer required.

## Syntax

    void pascal fpShutDown(KVPDFContext* const pContext);

## Arguments

`pContext` | A pointer to a context-identifying value of type `KVPDFContext`, obtained by calling fpInit(). The function sets the associated `KVPDFContext` variable to NULL to prevent accidental reuse of the context value that it contained, which must not subsequently be passed to any File Content Extraction function.

## Returns

None.

## Discussion

- `pContext` pointer must not be NULL.
- The context value pointed to by `pContext` can be NULL.
- After you call this function, you must not pass the context to any PDF export function. Consequently, you must not call `fpShutDown` more than once with a pointer to the same value (unless that value is NULL).
