Does vb6 only have the activeX library or is there a dll library for vb6 once you purchase Quick PDF. I am having a problem with distributing a vb6 program using the demo version of Quick PDF - getting the error - ActiveX component can't create object.

There is a non-ActiveX DLL for QuickPDF and it should be in the demo package. Maybe your problem is you are distributing the wrong DLL.Double check you are using the one from the ActiveX directory.

Using the ActiveX is the only easy option for using QPL with VB6.

After you copy the DLL to another machine then then you need to register it with regsvr32 quickpdfax0813.dll - on Vista and Win7 you need to do this from a Commnd Prompt (DOS) that has been started using 'Run As Administrator' - otherwise it won't register correctly.

Once it is registerd you should be able to use your app and the ActiveX without any problems.

If you have the DEMO then you need to remember that the licence key is only valid for 30 days. This limit will not stop the registering of the DLL but most functions in the DLL will not work without a valid license key.

Using LoadLibrary allows using the dll without registering (except if the loadlib first invocation registers in background)

The only constraint is to know where the dll is stored
