How do I install PDFNet python module?

I have been running in circles trying to figure out how to get my Django app to recognise the trial version of PDFNet:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PDFTron-PDFNet-SDK-for-Python/5.7

I tried adding the files to my ~/usr/bin directory, I tried dropping them into my virtualenv's bin directory. Neither has worked. I have read all the documentation i can find. I am too new of a Python developer to look at this package and know how to install it and utilize it in my project.

Please help!

update I attempted to create an app folder, and list this component as an app in the app list, but when I run the code to start the application, I get the following error:

Library not loaded: @rpath/libPDFNetC.dylib

I placed all of the lib files into this folder within my project:

I used the following import code at the top of the py file I was attempting to use the component on:

import site
site.addsitedir("../pdfnetc")
from pdfnetc.PDFNetPython import *

I put the lib files into a app folder named pdfnetc. once I had this, the import statements were no longer listed as unfound by pycharm.

here is the stack trace:
