Thanks for your reply. I have already performed a bwrPrint.Navigate (doesn't show in the piece of code I provided) and I have also tried to put my application to sleep for 10 seconds after the first bwrPrint.Navigate so that doesn't seem to be the problem in my case. And also the fact that it works ...

When it doesn't work the bwrPrint.ReadyState in my code example below is = 1 (is loading) and therefore the code including bwrPrint.ExecWB is not run! I have tried a number of things like put the application to sleep for a few seconds but it didn't help. One odd thing that has made the application w...

Hello again, I don't know to say this but the PDF creation in my Delphi program works at times but not always!! It worked fine from friday afternoon until this morning (tuesday) but when I ran the application this morning the PDF file did not get created! I have not made any changes to the applicati...

Thanks John, I have now solved the problem and it works fine! I don't know what the problem was, all of a sudden it simply worked!

kenbla

I have made some progress in this matter but I'm not quite there yet! I have copied some code from the examples that came with PDFXChange like this: "if (bwrPrint.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE then)" Normally bwrPrintReadyState should be equal to READYSTATE_COMPLETE but in my case it is...

Hello, I work in a Delphi environment and I want to find out what the best way is to create a PDF file in the following case: - I have an XML file - I have an XSL file which is use/can use to convert the XML file to an HTML report - I want to create a PDF file from the HTML report and store it to di...

Sorry about that, I am using your method PXCp_InsertPagesTo when I combine the two pdf documents.

kenbla

Hello, I have a problem! I create two different pdf files in a Delphi program. The pdf files are created using the Apache FOP processor. The files gets created without problems. In the next step I use the PDFX-Change method InsertPagesToPdfDocument in order to combine the two pdf files into one, thi...

kenbla

OK thanks. So what you are saying is that we need yet another of your products (the tools SDK). We have already bought PDF XChange Pro and PDF XChange Driver API.
Do we still have to copy the dll files to same path as our .exe files, the same way as in version 3?

kenbla

The problem is that we didn't get any documentation when we installed version 4 so I have no place to look! Is there any documentation which describes how to perform the functions mentioned in my initial question? And where can I find it if that's the case? The only documentation that I have seen is...

Hello, we are currently using both version 3 and version 4 of PDFXChange in a Borland Delpi environment. We are now planning to get rid of all version 3 functionality and replace them with the equivalent functions in version 4. We are currently using the following version 3 functions: - PXCp_ReadDoc...

kenbla

Hello again, I finally got it all to work!
Thanks for all your help!

kenbla

PDF-XChange is not a printer but I know that it is a printer driver which can be used to save .html pages by sending the .html page to the printer driver using ExecWB. We have used version 3 earlier but since it doesn't work on a 64 bit server we have to get version 4 instead. The code in version 4 ...

kenbla

Hello again, I have run som more tests this morning and I think that the problem is that PDFXChange tries to "save" the .html file by issuing this command: bwrPrint.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER); I guess that this command starts a separate session which might take so...

kenbla

I have run additional tests and the created .pdf documents are still corrupt! I have viewed the created file with Notepad and it seems as if the file is an .html file and not a .pdf file!! I tried to attach the file but it was rejected by this site as "a possible attack vector". Anyway the...

kenbla

Hello, I have now installed PDFXChange version 4 and the SDK. I have also been able to run the Delphi example that you provided. The Deplhi example works fine to create pdf documents for plain text and Word documents BUT it doesn't work when I try to create a pdf file from a .html file in a browser ...

Hello again, I tried to compile the Delphi example you so kindly provided, but it doesn't compile! I'm missing the module PXCCOMLib_TLB.pas. The example is set up to search for the file in E:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Imports. I have searched my entire C: drive but can't find the file! First of ...

kenbla

Thanks a lot for a quick reply!

kenbla

OK thanks! I hope you have time to answer an additional question before we start to implement v. 4! We are currently (v. 3) using the following PDFXChange functions/methods: PXCp_AddWatermark PXCp_Init PXCp_ReadDocumentW PXCp_GetPagesCount PXCp_llGetPageCount PXCp_InsertPagesTo PXCp_WriteDocumentW P...

kenbla

Thanks for your response. It sounds as if we have a lot of work to do in order to get it to work then! A couple of more questions though: - Do you know if version 3 of PDFXChange works in Windows Server 2008 (32 bit)? - Do you know if version 3 of PDFXChange works in Windows Server 2008 (64 bit)? Ha...

kenbla

Hello again, I still haven't found out how to get rid of the Save dialog. I have looked in the code in the example you sent me and it looks similar to the code we currently have for version 3 at least when it comes ShowSaveDialog. Please have a look at my code below for version 3: " try oReg.Ro...

kenbla

Thanks a lot Stefan. I will try to find a solution to my problem from the manual you provided me!

kenbla

Thanks Stefan. I work on the development team with Delphi applications and I have not installed PDFXChange and I don't know if we have installed the SDK for version 4, I can't find the SDK manual anyway! We have another team that does the installations! Is it possible that they have only installed t...

kenbla

Thanks Stefan, we have tried to set that boolean to false but it doesn't help I'm afraid!
I only have access to SDK manual for version 3! What kind of code changes are we talking about?

Hello, we have a problem when creating PDF documents from a Delphi environment. We currently run our application on an application server which runs Windows Server 2000 SP 4 and this works fine, but we are about to move to Windows Server 2008 (64 bit) and have performed some tests. When we try to cr...

Hello, is it possible to create "clickable" links, bookmarks and table of contents using PDF-XChange from a Borland Delphi environment? and if so how is it done?

kenbla

Thanks John. We are using the print driver when creating our PDF files

kenbla

I wonder if it is possible to add a table of contents and use bookmarks in the PDF files I create using PDFXchange from a Borland Delphi environment? If so, how do I do it?

kenbla

Thanks Victor! I have read every piece of documentation that we have at our site but I can't find anything which describes this! I have looked in the "PDF-XChange Help" file as well as the "PDF-XChange Users Manual" and those two are the only pieces of information that we have. W...

I might have solved the problem! Hi John, I have run another test and discovered the following: When I run the application using the following parameter list "hr := PXCp_WriteDocumentW(mhNewPDFDocument, PWChar(WideString(sFilePath)), PXCp_CreationDisposition_Overwrite, PXCp_Write_NoRelease );&q...

kenbla

OK, this is the "PXCP sequence" //First time around and everything works fine //First instance hr := PXCp_Init(@mhNewPDFDocument, PChar(mpxLicense), PChar(mpxDevcode)); pxRC := PXCp_ReadDocumentW(mhNewPDFDocument, PWChar(WideString(sFilepath)), 0); //Second instance hr := PXCp_Init(@mhNewP...

One more thing! In item number 3 i use "PXCp_InsertPagesTo" and this is where it fails!

I'm now able to merge a number of PDF files into one PDF file! So that's the good thing! but I have now run into another problem! After the merging of the PDF files I want to add another PDF file (containing the table of contents) to the recently created PDF file (the combined one) everything seems ...

Hi everybody, I haven't used PDFXchange for a while but now I'm at it again. This time I need to merge a number of PDF files from disk into one PDF file! Not a big thing I guess but I don't know how it is done and I would appreciate any assistance! I work as a system developer in a Borland Delphi en...

One more question for this subject.
What should m_LineWidth be initialized to?

kenbla

That solved the problem!
I appreciate your support!
Thank you very much.

OK, I have attached a zip-file which contains two test PDF files. The one named Bad_Pink.pdf has a pink/red watermark text at the bottom left which cannot be vewed in the document, and the other file Good.pdf has a watermark that can be read easily also at the bottom left! If you mark and copy the p...

kenbla

Hi, and thanks for your reply. The problem is that some of my applications that are installed on the same server can create a watermark on the PDF files and other applications cannot!! It is very strange.

Hello out there, I have experienced a problem when creating PDF documents containing watermarks! When I run the application on my development PC everything works fine, BUT when I move the application to my application server the watermark shows as a pink "strip" instead of the actual water...
