What is the difference between DebenuPDFLibrary64CPDLL1611.dll and DebenuPDFLibrary64DLL1611.dll ? Also, v16 claims Python support, but doesn't seem to have any .py files. |

A quick test with DUMPBIN/exports shows that in the 32-bit versions, the "CP" variant includes a extra set of the same entry-points, all "decorated" with C++ syntax. The names are preceded by an underscore and followed by for example @24 to show the size of the arguments. In the 64bit versions, where I believe that C++ "decoration" is not needed because of the completely different function calling conventions, the CP variant adds a large number of entry-points starting "xml", which appear to be for non-QPF functions.
So that is an answer to your specific question, but as someone who hates C++ and does not use Python, I leave it to you to determine the significance! |

| Thanks for that info. I'll stick with the non-'CP' ones. Hopefully they'll get around to documenting the 'CP' ones in due course. |

I was wondering about this myself as the only reason I purchased the library at this time was the claimed ability to be able to use it from Python. However, Foxit apparently has a github site. One of the sets of files there are Python import files for version 16.11 of the library: https://github.com/foxitsoftware/foxit-quick-pdf-library-python" rel="nofollow - https://github.com/foxitsoftware/foxit-quick-pdf-library-python Why they were not included in the library, I have no clue.
