I need to test this dll but I can not be unlocked from the development environment, import the support functions as global functions outside (QuickPDFDLL0813.inc) and am using this code:

example
long InstanceID
InstanceID = QuickPDFCreateLibrary()
if QuickPDFUnlockKey(InstanceID, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX") = 1 then // always return false
QuickPDFDrawText(InstanceID, 100, 500, "Hello world")
QuickPDFSaveToFile(InstanceID, "C:\Docs\cristian2.pdf")
end if
QuickPDFReleaseLibrary(InstanceID)

i need your help, please!!!

Version 8.13 uses natively unicode DLL calls. So when you declare your external functions you need to use a suffix depending on the string type you want to use. I don't remember if the internal strings in Powerbuilder 10.5 are ascii or unicode. So if they are acsii, then you functions declarations should be:
QuickPDFCreateLibraryA
QuickPDFUnlockKeyA
...
Now if the internal strings are unicode the declarations are:
QuickPDFCreateLibrary
QuickPDFUnlockKey
...
Hope this helps
