Doc Property titles with double byte characters

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

   Hi, I'm using Foxit Quick PDF Library (Windows) to grab doc titles from PDF Doc Properties. The following VBS code works great for any title that contains single byte characters:
      Call DPL.LoadFromFile(pdfFull, "")
      DocID = DPL.SelectedDocument()
      pdfTitle = DPL.GetInformation(2)
      pdfTitle = Trim(pdfTitle)

However when I try to grab titles containing double byte characters, the call to DPL.LoadFromFile bombs every time (and program execution stops). So I can get a title like this:
  ESM 9.6.0 Release Notes

But not one like this: 
  Data Loss Prevention Endpoint for Mac 9.3.5 发行说明

Any idea what I'm doing incorrectly? Many thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Paul M.

	Hi Paul, the string handling in QuickPDF is made via unicode. Due to this if you want to get a string out of QuickPDF put it into a variable defined as unicode. Due to this if you want to set a string into QuickPDF use a variable defined as unicode. You didn't find the online ressources? Here's the starting point: http://www.quickpdf.org/ Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo
