   Delphi vs Quick PDF library compatibility

Recently we had upgraded from Delphi XE2 to Delphi 10.3, and also upgraded the Quick PDF library from 14.11 to 17.11. 

Now we are not able to perform any of the Quick PDF related functionalities as it was earlier, we are suspecting it is something related to compatibility.

We are looking for Delphi vs Quick PDF library compatibility related information, it would be helpful if you guys help us on this, thanks in advance.

	First, welcome to this user forum! We started using Quick PDF with version 7 and Delphi 2010. I do not recall needing to make any significant changes to my source code because of backward compatibility issues between library versions, although of course we have changed many other things over the years and added more ways in which the library has been used. I suggest checking that none of the older files are visible in your new development environment. And also posting full details of specific compiler/building errors or function error returns that you see, so that we have some idea of what the actual problem might be.

	tfrost, thanks for sharing your valuable insights. It seems our application is referring 14.11's license key, instead of 17.11, we have replaced it with the recent one. Thanks again :)

	Hi Mvel, Rio (Delphi 10.3) ist supported from QuickPDF 16.12 onwards. Here a post from a user who couldn't find the Rio-related stuff: The latest release, 16.12, says it has support for Delphi 10.3 RIO. https://www.debenu.com/products/development/debenu-pdf-library/updates/ However, the licensed download has no ZIP files for the RIO version. Will this be rectified soon? This is what Albano (from publisher support) answered: Not sure if this issue is still ongoing, but the 10.3 Rio links are available in the 16.12 package Delphi folder. Standard folder location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Debenu\PDF Library 16\Delphi\DebenuPDFLibrary1612Delphi10.3RioWin32 So i think your issue is only a "how to find" or an installation-prob? Cheers and welcome here, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 09 Sep 21 at 7:39PM
	Cheers, Ingo

	Hi Ingo, I appreciated the detailed information you sent through. As you mentioned, it's an installation related issue, by mistake we had used the license key of version 14.11 instead of 17.11. We have been communicating with Quick PDF support team to procure the corresponding license key, thanks again :)
