AnsiStrings

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I'm using quickpdf 7.15 with Delphi2009. In contrast to the documentation, every function want to have AnsiString instead of String parameters. That's ok as long as I don't do any fileio: quickpdf deletes every non ascii-char from filenames: SaveToFile('Käse.pdf') makes it write a file 'Kse.pdf'. What could be wrong here?

thanks,
Dirk

	Hi Dirk! My answer is a bit spongy ... ;-) This have to do with unicode. D9 uses it - QP not. I think the new beta 7.16 of QP will support it soon. Cheers, Ingo

	Hi Guys, The latest version of Quick PDF Library supports Unicode for filenames and paths. This functionality was included in the most recent version (7.15). http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/products/quickpdf/updates.php If you make use of the new unicode support then this problem shouldn't occur anymore. Cheers, - Rowan.

	Hurra, it works! Quickpdf supports unicode filnames means it supports utf-8 encoded filenames. All I had to do was to replace the cast "AnsiString(filename)" with "UTF8Encode(filename)". Thanks for your answers :)

	Hi Divo, Just be aware that the Merge function has a bug. It will not merge pdf files with unicode characters in the path leading to the filename. However, Debenu is aware, and fixed it for the next version (7.16). Cheers!
