Are there any potential issues using Accusoft SDKs in Windows Azure?

There are some things to be aware of about Windows Azure and how it relates to Accusoft SDKs.


Many of our toolkits use GDI functions in order to create and manipulate bitmaps (CreateDIBSection(), SetDIBits(), etc). These operations will be blocked on Windows Azure, as it has a limitation for GDI.


Please see the section "Win32k.sys (User32/GDI32) Restrictions" at the link below for further details:

If the SDK in question supports it, the Transfer... functions would be an alternative (TransferTo(), etc), as they don't appear to make GDI calls.
