Hi to all,

can anybody tell me why quickpdf returns pagewidth/pageheight different to the values returned by acrobat reader?

This is my sourcecode:


procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Q    : TisedQuickPDF;
begin
  Q    := TisedQuickPDF.Create;
  Q.UnlockKey('...');
  Q.LoadFromFile('567153.PDF');
  Q.SetMeasurementUnits(1);
  ShowMessage(Format('Width: %-3.2fmm',[Q.PageWidth])+' '+
              Format('Height: %-3.2fmm',[Q.PageHeight]));
end;

Thankx for your help...

By the way: How can I upload my file?

Hi Fritz,

you can't upload a file here. Perhaps you have anywhere own online-place for the file?

Normally (what's that?) the dimensions should be the same. Perhaps you set it in QuickPDF to unit millimeters and in acrobat there are pixels? Perhaps there are different pages?

What are the dimensions from acrobat and what are the dimensions from QuickPDF? Perhaps seeing both can give an answer already?

Cheers, Ingo

Hallo Ingo,

ich sehe hier nirgends einen UPLOAD-Button. Wie soll ich das PDF hochladen? Ich habe leider keinen WebSpace.

Hi Ingo,

I see no UPLOAD-Button. How to do uploading a file in this forum?

Hi Fritz!

We don't have an upload-button here. Sorry.
But you can send the file to me and if i won't find an explanation by myself i would upload it in my webspace.

Cheers, Ingo

Hi,

most probably it is a problem with the combinations of Media, Crop, Trim etc. Box. Can you use GetPageBox and post all dimensions for the different box types?

best regards,
Uli

Hi,

at the moment the problem is fixed by:



procedure TForm1.Button3Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Q    : TisedQuickPDF;
begin
  Q    := TisedQuickPDF.Create;
  Q.UnlockKey('...');
  Q.LoadFromFile('567153.PDF');
  Q.SetMeasurementUnits(1);
 
if Q.HasPageBox(2) then
  ShowMessage(Format('Width: %-3.2fmm',[Q.GetPageBox(2,2)])+' '+
              Format('Height: %-3.2fmm',[Q.GetPageBox(2,3)]))
else
  ShowMessage(Format('Width: %-3.2fmm',[Q.PageWidth])+' '+
              Format('Height: %-3.2fmm',[Q.PageHeight]));
end;

Is this the correct way to retrieve the page dimensions?
