Hi Team

As per the guidelines, I installed QuickPDF Library 13.11 and can see all the functions mentioned for PowerBuilder at below location :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Debenu\PDF Library\DLL\Import\PowerBuilder\DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1311Unicode.inc

I added them to my Local External Function and added below code

int InstanceID
InstanceID = DPLCreateLibrary()

IF DPLUnlockKey(InstanceID,"my_unlock_key") = 1 THEN
DPLDrawText(InstanceID, 100, 500, "Hello world")
DPLSaveToFile(InstanceID, "C:\Docs\HelloFromDLL.pdf")
END IF

DPLReleaseLibrary(InstanceID);

But when I am running this code, I am getting the error "Error opening DLL Library "DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1311.dll"

To me it looks like a DLL registration issues.

Can someone please confirm how to get it running.

Thanks
Ramendra

Hi All,

I figure out the problem which was causing the error "Error opening DLL Library "DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1311.dll"

I placed the DLL "DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1311.dll" in the same folder with my Code and I am able to get the "InstanceID" from DPLCreateLibrary()

But, I am still getting ZERO from function DPLUnlockKey(InstanceID,"my_unlock_key")

I tried couple of license keys but the same return value.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks

Ramendra

Have you purchased a license? If so, you shouldn't be posting your license key publicly!

If not, you shouldn't be using someone else's license key.

Which version of Powerbuiilder are you using?Also, how have you declared your local external function? You may be running it an Ansi/Unicode string issue.
