I'm just starting with this so please go easy on me. I'm using the lite version 7.19 and I did register it. The code is in powerbasic ver 9.x. My question is can I open a PDF file and display it with this version? I see nothing in the reference guide about rendering.

LoadFromFile returns a 0 so maybe there are some steps I'm missing.

#INCLUDE Once "..\modules\QuickPDFLite0719.inc"

Global QPL As QuickPDFLite0719IPDFLibrary 'line 41 of include file

''''Form load

Function FORM1_WM_CREATE ( _

hWndForm As Dword, _ ' handle of Form

ByVal UserData As Long _ ' optional user defined Long value

) As Long

Local Result As Long

' Get a reference and set the properties

QPL = newcom $PROGID_QuickPDFLite0719PDFLibrary 'Line 16 of include file

End Function

''''button click

Function FORM1_COMMAND1_BN_CLICKED ( _

ControlIndex As Long, _ ' index in Control Array

hWndForm As Dword, _ ' handle of Form

hWndControl As Dword, _ ' handle of Control

idButtonControl As Long _ ' identifier of button

) As Long

Local DocID As Long

Local Result As Long

Local imgFile As String

Local ImageID As Long

Local MyPDF As String

Local FontID As Long

Local FontMain As Long

MyPDF = "c:\Projects\QuickPDFLite\release\mypdf.pdf"

If IsFalse(IsObject(QPL)) Then

MsgBox "Unable to create an object refrence."

Exit Function

End If

result = QPL.loadFromFile(mypdf)

'result = QPL.DAOpenFile("c:\Projects\QuickPDFLite\release\AD8302.pdf")

MsgBox Str$(result)

End Function

Maybe this can't even be done in the lite version but I doubt it. What I need to do is open a pdf and display it

Thank you

Doug

Hi Doug,

Quick PDF Library Lite does not include any of the rendering functions required to display PDF files. This functionality is only available in the commercial version of the library.

In the version 7.21 reference guide a list of the functions supported in the Lite edition can be found on page 641 in the "Appendix C: Functions available in the Lite Edition" section.

Cheers,

- Rowan.
