My problem seems to be solved by using the Adobe Acrobat Reader >= version 10!

I'm not the total OLE expert. I use OLE and Excel in my job. We used to use objectdata like you until Excel versions outpaced file type support (aka the new Excel file type wasn't supported). Now I use an oleobject and explicitly connect to the OLE server (which is Excel) and use Excel functions to open and close an Excel file. So basically what does this mean to you.

1. I have seen this objectdata file size creep before. Basically the object data now contains ore than the original file. You can see this by doing a binary compare of the blob before assignment and then after assignment.
2. Depending on what you are using the olecontrol for it might be safer to do a re-write so the application opens and closes the file on disk.
3. You may want to seek help on the Powerbuilder forum on SAP's website. They may have more incite into your problem and solution.

Thank you again, Wheeley.

The application associated (in field "LocalServer32") is Adobe Acrobat 9.0, actually not the newest version...
Is the field "ProgID" also important? Its content is "AcroExch.Document.7".

How can I change the entry above to a newer Acrobat version?

Hm, if a customer has another (an older!?) Acrobat version, (how) does the PowerBuilder-exe know about the Acrobat version? Is it always ours (here Acrobat 9)? Or is an entry in the registry relevant? I have found a lot of them for Acrobat 9.0 im my registry...
Should it be even necessary to deinstall the old Acrobat 9.0? Hm, but I have just found also an Acrobat 10 on my PC, too.

Using the Object Browser, click on the OLE tab. Here you can find out what application is associated with the PDF file when you insert it into the control using the function InsertFile. IIRC, its the Insertable Objects group you need to expand. You may have to search a little. But the associated program is what is controlling the object, not Powerbuilder.

Thank you for you answer, Wheeley.

What do you mean by "What is"?
We are using it as a container for the pdf file which has writeable fields.

What is the olecontrol you are using? That is most likely where you problem is. Use the Object explorer to see what it is.

Hi,

Sorry for not having answered before, but sometimes...

The DPLLastErrorCode is 401 (with the text "Could not open input file").

> you shouldn't use ;ansi.

I've just tried it (with PowerBuilder 12.5.2):
It doesn't work because I get the error "Die Library >DebenuPDFLibraryDLL0911.DLL< konnte nicht instanziiert oder unblocked werden."
(= something like "The library >DebenuPDFLibraryDLL0911.DLL< couldn't be instantiated or unblocked."
But thank you for the idea.


Meanwhile, I have the "funny" situation that the entry of the old (formerly non-working) pdf in our database is working now.
But when I try to store the same pdf file again in the database (clob; Oracle 10), i have the same error as before.
The internal storage of both pdf files in the database differ but I don't know why. They got into the database in the same way...
...but not as original. Instead they grew as OLE objects...
Therefore I have the following question (for PowerBuilder and/or OLE experts):

The original pdf has a size of 606111 bytes, the pdf read afterwards into an OLE object (ole_pdf_in) is about 2.1 MB.

The code here is:
li_rc        =    fileOpen(ls_pathName,    streamMode!)   // ls_pathName: Original file with 606111 bytes
ll_bytes    =    fileReadEx(li_rc,    lbl_pdfFile)
 Messagebox ("lbl_pdfFile (blob); Length:", len(lbl_pdfFile)) // output: 606111 bytes, correct :)
li_rc        =    fileClose(li_rc)
li_rc        =    ole_pdf_in.insertFile(ls_pathName)
 lbl_pdfFile    =    ole_pdf_in.objectData
 Messagebox ("2. lbl_pdfFile (blob); Length:", len(lbl_pdfFile)) // output: >= 2.1 MB, many more bytes!? Is this normal?

This ole_pdf_in.objectData is stored into the database (clob).

Any ideas are much appreciated :)

Burkart

PS: There doesn't seem to be a relevant difference between DLL version 9 and 11.

Hi,
 
he wrote that there's only a prob with one special pdf.
So posting the source won't help. ;-)
I think LastErrorCode could be a good hint, too.
Additionally Burkart should have a look inside the pdf (with an Editor) and compare with "good" pdf-documents.
 
Cheers, Ingo

It would also help to see your source code. Maybe the user here could see something.
