Hello all,

I have bought the quickpdf and made an application in vb6 to combine two pdf files.
Which is working fine.
Now I need to install it to the users computers and I get an error stating: "Can't create object" When running the program. (I have made a temp program just using the pagecount function which gives the same error)

I compiled the program with a wrong licensekey and the program doesn't even get there.

I have manually put the "QuickPDFDLL0721.dll" in the program files/program folder and did a regsvr32 with  it. (which failed stating the the dll was loaded but didn't have an entry. Not loaded)

I have manually put the "QuickPDFDLL0721.dll" in the users system32 folder and did a regsvr32 with  it. (which failed stating the the dll was loaded but didn't have an entry. Not loaded)

I have installed the quick pdf program (from the website) thinking that now the .dll would be installed right.
But still the same error when the function for counting the pages is called the program gives an error.

Thanks in advance,
PolderBoy

Hi PolderBoy!

There are different kinds of dlls - "normal" and "ActiveX".
The normal dll can't be registered like many other dlls, too.
And that's okay. Put the dll in the system32-path or in the path
where your app works.
On the official pages of the library you can find starting guides
for your needs.

Cheers, Ingo

Hello Ingo,

Thanks for your reply. But I have looked at the documentation before I posted this problem.

The dll is is both folders now.

With regards,
PolderBoy

I have solved it.
This is embarrasing....

In the code I have written the version number to 21 and the dll has version 23.

Works on all computers now.
