Catastrophic Failure using DeletePages()

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

   I have code the merges a series of PDFs together and have started to encounter errors. I am running version 4.15* and receiving the following message:
error '8000ffff' 
Catastrophic failure 
/home/groups/public/documents/program/Forms_Merge_test.asp, line 55 
This line of code is calling the QP.DeletePages(1,1) method. It does not happen on all sets of PDFs. 
This is part of a process that merges multiple PDFs files together. The basic flow of the program uses the QP.NewDocument to create a base file, then merges a list of files using the QP.LoadFromFile() and QP.MergeDocument() methods. After all files are merged, the DeletePages() method is called to remove the initial blank page.
This process has been working for some time. I am thinking I am hitting a memory limit or memory leak. 
Does anyone have any suggestions on this one?
* I am not running version 5.11 of the library because of bugs encountered merging forms with numerous fillable fields.

	I have rewritten the application to merge the files in the file system instead of memory and eliminated the need for the DeletePages() call. The process of merging the files in memory was corrupting the PDF to the point where I could not delete pages.
