Hello to everybody

I am trying to use this above function but is doesn't work...

This is my code :

Public Function Test()
    Dim pdfLibrary As Object
    Dim pdfPath As String
    Dim PDFDocID As Long
    Dim pagecount As Integer
    Dim pdfText As String
    Set pdfLibrary = CreateObject("DebenuPDFLibraryLite1114.PDFLibrary")
    pdfPath = "C:\Users\masteripper\SomeEbook.pdf"    '
    PDFDocID = pdfLibrary.LoadFromFile(pdfPath, "")
    pagecount = pdfLibrary.pagecount
    For n = 1 To pagecount
        pdfText = pdfText & pdfLibrary.ExtractFilePageText(pdfPath, "", n, 0)
    Next
End Function

This code is from Access using the latest PDFLibrary Lite

Hi,

is "...SomeEbook.pdf" a real ebook?
Ebooks are protected in a special way.
Extraction won't work on these type of files.
Before starting the extraction you should check if the file is encrypted and then you should decrypt it first:

QP := TDebenuPDFLibrary1211.Create;

try

QP.LoadFromFile(Edit1.Text, '');

If ( QP.EncryptionStatus > 0 ) Then

QP.Decrypt;

// . . .

BTW: What does it mean if you're writing "it doesn't work"?
Is the extracted content not readable... do you get nothing?

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

Thanks Ingo for replying...

I mean that i get an error exactly at this line

pdfText = pdfText & pdfLibrary.ExtractFilePageText(pdfPath, "", n, 0)

Error 438

"Object Doesn't Support This Property or Method"

So i reckon that the function either has an issue or its crippled as this is the Lite Edition...

I also checked the EncryptionStatus function...same error.
