I am having issues where the library seems to silently crash when the text I am sending reaches a certain length. I am declaring the library, opening an existing .pdf and adding text. Code is C++.

This code works fine:

String s_string = "1234 1234 1234 1234 1234 1234";

BSTR bstr_string = WideString(s_string);

DPL.DrawText(254, 242, bstr_string);

DPL.SaveToFile(file);

This code gives no error but the file is never saved:

String s_string = "1234 1234 1234 1234 1234 1234 1234";

BSTR bstr_string = WideString(s_string);

DPL.DrawText(254, 242, bstr_string);

DPL.SaveToFile(file);

Any help appreciated. This just doesn't make any sense to me.

Hi LaGatorVII,

the reason for your issue shouldn't have to do with the additional "1234" ;-)

Perhaps you can post the complete relevant code and var-definitions starting from try/load up to save/free?

Do you draw to the same file or are there different files... some with write protection and some without...?

Cheers and welcome here,

Ingo

Ingo,

Thank you for your reply. The bottom line is that the extra 1234 is the issue. The code is exactly the same but for that difference.

I was able use this same code perfectly fine with a newer version of the C++ compiler. So my problem is solved by the brute force of splitting the program into a data app and a pdf builder app that uses the new compiler.

Thanks,

LaGatorVII
