EmbeddedFileCount and RemoveEmbeddedFile

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


   In VB6, I am trying to remove file attachments from a pdf with existing attachments.  When I call EmbeddedFileCount, it will always return a 0 result.  Thus, I can't use RemoveEmbeddedFile for the range of attached files.  Is this a known issue, or is there something that needs to be called/initialized before attempting to get the filecount besides opening the file?  I have pasted just a simple portion of the project below:

Dim QP
Set QP = CreateObject(ClassName)
QP.LoadFromFile (InFileName)

ret = QP.EmbeddedFileCount() ' Returns 0 currently
ret = QP.RemoveEmbeddedFile(0) ' Returns 0 because it sees no attachment in FileCount

	The customer has reported back that this is now working. It could be that the call to QP.UnlockKey() is missing. Andrew.

	The problem still persists, EmbeddedFileCount does not work correctly, it is always 0.

	Hi Juan, please post a link to a sample-pdf with embedded files. Then we can try and check the functionality. Perhaps we can detect some probs if you post your relevant code here, too. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo

	thank you Ingo. Mi code in Delphi is : PDFLibrary.LoadFromFile('C:\Users\USUARIO\formulario_25_9_o.pdf'); Label1.Caption := PDFLibrary.EmbeddedFileCount().ToString; // It's allweys = 0 hash1.Caption := PDFLibrary.GetEmbeddedFileContentToString(1); //.EmbeddedFileCount() in Adobe Reader is alweys = 0. But when I attach a file in Adobe Pro DC by the attached panel, ir works. In Adobe Reader I implement a custom button like this, and the document are in the panel, but the method cannot EmbeddedFileCount see them: try { var annot = this.addAnnot({ page: event.target.page, type: "FileAttachment", author: "Form cpce", name: "File Attachment", point: [500, 500], contents: "Fecha adjuntado: " + util.printd("yyyy/mm/dd HH:MM:ss", new Date()) }); annot.cAttachmentPath; var attachmentObj = annot.attachment; if (attachmentObj !== null) { attachmentObj.embedDocAsDataObject( attachmentObj.name, this); thank you so much!!
