Hello All,

I have the following code and it does not display the text on the saved pdf. My question is can you use the Draw methods with files that are opened with the DAOpenFile?

m_fh = m_qp.DAOpenFile("C:\Temp\MyPDFFile.pdf", "")

Call m_qp.SetOrigin(1)
Call m_qp.SetTextSize(10)
Call m_qp.SetTextAlign(1)
Call m_qp.DrawText(m_qp.PageWidth() / 2, m_qp.PageHeight / 2 + (m_qp.GetTextSize() / 2), "This it my centred text")

Call m_qp.DASaveAsFile(m_fh, "C:\temp\test.pdf")

Thanks in advance.

The short answer is no. You can only use the direct access functions when you open a function using the direct access method (DAOpenFile). So to do drawing, you need to open the whole file to memory using the other open file methods.

So if you need both functionalities... a bit from DA... and a bit from NON-DA...
you should do it in two steps:
First the DA-functionalities and after Free a new Load and the NON-DA-functions.
