Hello,
I'm using the function LoadFromFile, but getting a value of Zero.

mlCurrDocument = mobjPDFLib.GetDocumentID(1)
   mlCurrPage = 1

   ' Set options
   mobjPDFLib.SetOrigin 1
   mobjPDFLib.CompressFonts 1
   mobjPDFLib.CompressImages 1
   mobjPDFLib.NewPages 2

   mobjPDFLib.SelectDocument mlCurrDocument

   lRes = mobjPDFLib.LoadFromFile(msSourceFile)

I would like to attach the pdf file which is one page. Can someone please let me know how as there is no functionality on this page to attache file.

Thank you

Hi!

There's no function to "attach" one pdf-file with another one.
I think you need merge-functionality to get two pdf-files together.
Have a look here:

You can copy single or a range of pages to another document.
Please have a look here:

If you really want to attach a file to a pdf-document you should have a look at the embed-functions.
If your pdf-file always returns with a zero you should load it with Foxit or Adobe Reader... What do they "say"? Is the pdf okay or are there error messages, too?

Cheers, Ingo

I think Ingo is right, it sounds like you mean merge, but for anyone else looking to actually attach a document to a PDF, this is now possible with Quick PDF Library. In version 7.12 there was a function added which allows you to embed an attachment in the PDF so that it shows up in the Attachments panel in Adobe Reader and Acrobat.

Sorry, I think the question is misunderstood.

I have this pdf file that contains one page. I want to load it using the PDF Library function LoadFromFile.

I can view the pdf file with Acrobat Reader. I want to upload this single pdf file on this post. Is there a way I can upload this so you can have a look.

Thanks.

Hi!

You can send it to me directly:
ingo -dot- schmoekel -at- ewetel -dot- net
or you can go to the official QP-support-pages:

BTW: Is there a create in your code before doing the load?
Is there an unlock on the lib before doing the load?

Cheers, Ingo

Hi!

I've checked the file. Here are the results:
Only one small page but 5 mb.
Only one page but 3199 objects, 325 images, 212 CMYK-entries.
The load lasts very long but for me with success.
Preview works - Textextraction, too.

I think your document code stuff being before load should be after loadfile.
Check all returning values. I guess that already mlCurrDocument will be wrong.

To make it more clear:
First you should do the create, then the unlock, then the load, then select document (save the id), then the second load, then the second select document (save the id) and then the merge. This will work.

Cheers, Ingo
