Hi Ingo.

Sorry but you've got the wrong guy. I've reported the experience from another user (swb1 on this forum). Mine wasn't a lot better anyway.

We'll see if Foxit will really keep supporting this project or not, but based on actual experience from a multitude of users, I really think they will not.

It seems plausible that they even don't have Delphi developers in house anymore, given that they don't have any Delphi project or library in their menu... So, good luck.

Hi Bozzy,

your experiences regarding support or not doesn't matter.
Foxit announces that they'll do support until the end of 2022 - that's the only fact.
The other thing. Closing this project or not... The rights regarding the library still remains at Foxit. If they want to sell these rights you can buy them and then you can do further developement at the library - that's all.
The obj-files you're mentioning are made with Borland C++ 5.5.1,Borland C++ 5.6,CodeGear C++ 5.92 and CodeGear C++ 5.93 for example.
If it's possible to get back the sources: You can try Google with "reverse engineering obj c++".

> I have two tickets in with Foxit support regarding bugs that I encountered in v18.11. Those tickets have gone unanswered since July 2020.

Regarding your 1st answer, I wouldn't get my hopes up :D

Just a couple of questions: someone reported here that the sources are not 100% pascal, there are some .OBJs also, is that correct?
Given that:
1) Are there chances these OBJs will become outdated somewhere in the future?
2) And also, are these files compatible with a Linux build?

several things spring to mind:

1, it is still a licensed product and FoxIt would certainly take a dim view (to say the least) and will provide bug fixes for the next 12 months, or so they say;
2. I've just paid out $$$ for the source code so why would I share it for nothing.
3. It is up to Foxit to decide whether to make it open source
4. It might impact on whether another company would wish to buy it.

so simple answer, no.

I know I'm about to ask an awkward question, but... someone here with Source code would be so kind to share it? This has become an officially discontinued product, so I think they wouldn't care if this would happen... We have our license, so it wouldn't be piracy.]]> Mon, 20 Dec 2021 09:36:31 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/quickpdflibrary-for-delphi-11_topic3952_post15989.html#15989 <![CDATA[QuickPdfLibrary for Delphi 11? : No doubt that TMS could.We have...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/quickpdflibrary-for-delphi-11_topic3952_post15977.html#15977 Author: Ulrich Blomeyer

No doubt that TMS could.

They are working on quite a bit, one of which is their PDF offering. I did propose they did a library along the lines of QuickPDF. ]]> Tue, 14 Dec 2021 16:55:45 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/quickpdflibrary-for-delphi-11_topic3952_post15976.html#15976 <![CDATA[QuickPdfLibrary for Delphi 11? : rweetch wrote:Two options we...]]> http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/quickpdflibrary-for-delphi-11_topic3952_post15975.html#15975 Author: Ulrich Blomeyer

TMS is probably not an option. I think they are more than busy with their own projects ("TMS Web Core").

Two options we could try for:

1: see if they would do a deal with TMS so that TMS would continue to develop them
2: Open source them

Do you think they would go for either of these?

Also, there is losLab Software – PDF & Excel Software and Developer Library - I have written to see if they have a feature comparison sheet

1. Is "Foxit PDF SDK for Windows" a real alternative?

It depends what part of QucikPDF Library you have used.
In my Opinion Foxit PDF SDK has less features than QucikPDF Library - simply just look on function list.

3. How much effort is required to replace the "Quick Pdf Library" library with "Foxit PDF SDK for Windows" in existing projects? We use the library mainly for editing pdf form applications.

It depends how many part of QucikPDF Library you have used.
For example I have about 5000 lines of code related to QuickPDF Library.
This is about 120 my own function related to this library I would have to check them all.

As far as ActiveX version work on Windows 10, 11 ..... I would not intent to stop using them.
