How do you declare the varible Loc:fileToLoad? Is it a fixed length string by any chance? If the variable is limited to 30 characters, it might be ignoring the extra text you are trying to place in the variable.

Can you do a "debug.print" or view the content of that variable after you have loaded the filename into it?]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 11:31:20 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2201.html#2201 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2200.html#2200 Author: lecameleon

my programming language is Clarion from SoftVelocity so I use the dll version

here a sample code

Loc:fileToLoad = 'PDF-74800-100830 Buy List from 01082006.pdf' !! I'm locate in the good directory

return# = LoadFromFile(clip(Loc:fileToLoad))
message('Return => ' & return#)
message(PageCount())

The return variable always contains 0 if I put a file with a name length > 30 chars. Else It works ok.

Another sample of code with I've tested :

openFile# = DAOpenFile(Loc:fileToLoad, '')
message(openFile#)
nbPages# = DAGetPageCount(openFile#)
message('Nb Pages = ' & nbPages#)
closeFile# = DACloseFile(openFile#)

I just tested sample code up to 50 characters. I also tested the filename you provided (PDF-78400-100830 Buy list.pdf) and it works fine for me. I agree with JanN, please show your sample code: the problem might be elsewhere.]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 10:56:49 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2199.html#2199 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2197.html#2197 Author: JanN

As far as I know, the DLL functions themselves are not limited to a number of chars.

Which programming language are you using? Can you post a piece of code?]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 10:51:48 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2197.html#2197 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2196.html#2196 Author: lecameleon

yes it's my problem
When I give the name of file, it was an example
all my files start with PDF-78400-100830-
so when I wrote my post, I've put only 29 chars.
But now, I made some other tests and when I go up to 30 chars, I can read my PDF !
Why do U say it's not good ?
U don't have this limit ?]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 09:40:40 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2196.html#2196 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2195.html#2195 Author: Ingo

Hi!

That's not good ... but that's not your problem. "PDF-78400-100830 Buy list.pdf" has only 29 digits ;-)

Best regards,
Ingo

U'r right, I have found a file limit of 30 chars.
Can someone confirm this please ?]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 05:18:03 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2194.html#2194 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2193.html#2193 Author: lecameleon

The files are on a network drive
But the problem is the same if they are on a local drive c:\]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2006 04:37:59 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2193.html#2193 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/load-a-pdf-file_topic491_post2185.html#2185 Author: hbarclay

Is the file you are trying to open on a network drive or a local hard drive?
