Hi,

I'm in desperate need of your help.
To ilustrate the problem I modified the sample program located in C:\Program Files\Quick PDF Library\Samples\CPlusPlus\cplusplus-dll-helloworld.zip .

I commented out the QP.DrawText line and added the QP.DrawHTMLText bellow:

// Draw the 'Hello World' text on the PDF page
//QP.DrawText(100, 500, "Hello world from C++");
   int index = 500;
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font>Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=9>Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=13>Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=18>Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"9.0pt\">Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"11.5pt\">Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"18.5pt\">Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"9\">Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"11\">Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"18\">Hello world from C++</font>");


The resulted pdf will contain the strings seen here: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4795/pdfs.jpg
As you can see any attempt to set the font size will cause it become so small that is unreadeble.
What am I doing wrong?

PS: I am using version 7.15

Thank you for any help,
Cristian

<font size="nn">     should work ;-)

Thanks for the quick reply, in the sample code I sent you I already tried this.
See:
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"9\">Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"11\">Hello world from C++</font>");
QP.DrawHTMLText(100, index-=20,500, "<font size=\"18\">Hello world from C++</font>");

Regards,
Cristian

Yes... That i mentioned.
Remove the slashes.
I think it was interpreted in a faulty way?

In C/C++ " is treated as begening of a string if you want your strings to contain " you have to you the escape character \ . I assure you that the string that DrawHTMLText will get ist actually 
<font size="18">Hello world from C++</font> 
whith no slashes.

Thanks,
Cristian

Just tried the vb script sample that works with activex dll (see vbscript-activex-html_text.zip) and got the same results. Can you tell me what QuickPdf version are you using (and were can I get it) if it works for you?

Cristian

Hi Christian!

I've access to same versions like you.
I'm a user like you (but for a long time now ;-)
I can't try or implement your sample 'cause i've my own work to do.
This is a user-user-forum and it lives from the experiences of the users.
Actually we want to help you and a few month ago you'll help, too.
If there's a prob which can't be explained/sloved here you should use this location:
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/support/support-query.php
for technical support.

Cheers, Ingo

Hi Cristian,

I work for Quick PDF Library. I've checked our support system and was not able to locate a support case that contained your name or was about the subject you've written about here.

Did you receive an automated response which contained your support case number after you submitted your support query? If so, can you let me know what the case number is? If not, email me at support@quickpdflibrary.com and I'll help you.

Cheers,
- Rowan.

That's strange, I will test our contact forms now and look in the servers spam folder to see if your message was caught somewhere. As a backup, please also email your query to me at rowan.hanna_(AT)_gmail.com.

Just forwarded you the email I sent to support. Checked the spam and there are no quickpdf emails.
