Hi All,
 
I am using Verson 8.18 with QUICK PDF with PowerBuilder 10.5,  I am getting the handle value using the function QuickPDFCreateLibraryA however i am not able to get return value 1 while using the function QUICKPDFUnlockKeyA; also for the Function QUICKPDFMergeFileList also i am getting the return value as 0.  I am using the QuickPDF dll to connect from PB 10.5.
 
My objective is to merging of documents and to create bookmark inside the pdf after the merge function.
 
Any help is highly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance,  Ram

Unfortunately, yes. So for a PB10.5 and below the inc file wold be like:

string QuickPDFFontName(long InstanceID) library "QuickPDFDLL0815.dll" alias for "QuickPDFFontNameA;ansi"
long QuickPDFSaveToFile(long lInstanceID, String sFileName) library "QuickPDFDLL0815.dll" alias for "QuickPDFSaveToFile;ansi"

whereas PB 11.0 and above would simply be:

string QuickPDFFontName(long InstanceID) library "QuickPDFDLL0815.dll"
long QuickPDFSaveToFile(long lInstanceID, String sFileName) library "QuickPDFDLL0815.dll"

If you need help just e-mail.

We don't have a copy of PowerBuilder to do any testing with.  

As Wheely mentions PB 11.5 supports UNICODE strings and works correctly with QPL.  
PB 10.xx versions needs to use the 'A' versions of the Quick PDF Library functions so you need to add an 'A' to the end of the function name if the functions uses a string as a parameter or a return value.  ie.  QuickPDFLoadFromFileA,  QuickPDFUnlockKeyA, QuickPDFDrawTextA

We are looking to provide more Getting Started information for Power Builder to help make it easier to get started with.  We support many platforms and we have many customers using all sorts of development environments with the DLL and ActiveX versions.

So if anyone has any ideas or sample code to help others get started with PowerBuilder then it would be most welcome.

Wheely - does there need to be two versions of the QuickPDFDLL08xx.INC file - one for PB10 and another for PB11 ?

Andrew.

I have found that sometimes things can be cryptic and/or trial and error in the PowerBuilder world, especially when trying to call external functions.  Not many people use PowerBuilder either so help and information is also limited.  

Thanks a lot for the additional information.  Every little bit helps.

Being a Powerbuilder developer and using QuickPDF since before Debenu bought it I can say they are wrong here. Unicode support completely depends on which version of Powerbuilder you are using. Powerbuilder 11 and onward have the internal Powerbuilder string as a unicode string. So you don't need the ";ansi" on the external function references since you are using version 8 of the QuickPDF library.

Hope this helps

Thanks Ingo,

They responded quickly to provide a new product key and also explain that my problem might actually have been related to the fact that the 8.15 library has ANSI variations of methods which PowerBuilder (the development environment that I'm using) is better able to deal with rather than the Unicode variations.

I'm back in business.

Hi John!

This is a user-user-forum here.
Some experiences we've made and we can talk about and advice
and some experiences (like yours) we couldn't make.
So if it's an urgent problem for you (and i think so) you should post
it to the official support pages of Debenu:
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/support/support-query.php

Cheers, Ingo

Hi,

I appreciate your response.  I ran the uninstaller and even went as far as to remove registry entries to try to get rid of it all together and I still get the same problem when I re-install (0 days left on license but says it's actually valid until 1 July 2012).

As mentioned in my first post, I have not previously installed QuickPDF on this computer, so it's not a previous installation that could be causing this.  Anyway, I will get ahold of the Debenu guys if I can and see if they can help me.

Thanks again,
-John

Hi!

I think this behavior has to with your old installation
and perhaps an old entry in your registry.
Remove completely the old version and trying the new
version with a new testkey will be successfully ... i hope ;-)
You should call the guys at Debenu directly...
There are lower prices jumping from version 7.xx up to 8.xx

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo
