We have added a whole lot of code to the 8.14 beta 1 release that should overcome the the CoInitialize problem.  Beta testers are very welcome.

I have passed this onto the developers and hopefully we can find a quick fix for the 8.13 release.]]> Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:28:06 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/tquickpdfcreate-crash-if-coinitialize-not-called_topic2049_post8719.html#8719 <![CDATA[TQuickPDF.Create crash if CoInitialize not called : Hi Joe!

Hi Joe!
 
I didn't check this out but if you're right you should post this to the official support pages, too.
 
Cheers, Ingo

Not all programming languages might support this workaround.]]> Mon, 21 Nov 2011 04:12:35 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/tquickpdfcreate-crash-if-coinitialize-not-called_topic2049_post8715.html#8715 <![CDATA[TQuickPDF.Create crash if CoInitialize not called : TQuickPDF.Create crash if CoInitialize...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/tquickpdfcreate-crash-if-coinitialize-not-called_topic2049_post8714.html#8714 Author: TJoe(J^)

TQuickPDF.Create crash if CoInitialize not called:

QuickPDF Verison: 8.12

Issue: TQuickPDF.Create blows chunks if called from an application that does not first call CoInitialize(), raising an EOleSysError "CoInitialized has not been called" exception.

Cause: The latest versions of the QuickPDF library calls CreateOleObject() and makes an assumption that the calling application will make the calls to CoInitialize() and CoUninitialize() in behalf of the library. Previous QuickPDF versions (7) seem unaffected.

Replication: Call TQuickPDF.Create from any application where CoInitialize() has not first been called.

Delphi 6 example:

program Project1;

uses
  QuickPDF;

var
  FPdfEngine : TQuickPDF;
begin
//  CoInitialize(nil);
  FPdfEngine := TQuickPDF.Create;
  try
    FPdfEngine.Free;
  except
  end;
//  CoUninitialize();
end.

Workaround: Call CoInitialize() before using the QuickPDF library and call CoUninitialize() after its use.
