Hello,
Do you have any update on this? Tank you!

Cheers,

Hello Alex,

The same behaviour can be reproduced with the End-User Editor.

Cheers,

Hi folks, In our app built around PDF-Xchange Editor SDK, we have problems with accessibility options for some documents. Sometimes, it is not possible to apply a specific background color. In preferences, we check “Override Document Colors” and set the desired “Page Background Color”. This works in...

Erickc

Hello there!
As we may have a need for this feature, I'm doing a quick check with you guys at Tracker to see if there is any updates about its availability.
Cheers,

Hi, We did all our tests with this version downloaded last week : "6.0.322.7, released 20 Dec 2017" This version is no longer available on your download page but there is a "7.0.323.2, released 20 Dec 2017 " version. Can we correctly assume that this was only a name change and th...

Erickc

Hello Alex, Just to let you know that the the .DLL of the end user version didn't work but the latest 6.0.322.7 build of the SDK resolved our problem! On a side note, we noticed that this build comes with the menu icons of the version 7 of the end user edition. Shouldn't the build number of the SDK ...

Erickc

Thank you Alex,
You mean this version? 6.0.322.7 (Updated on 20 Dec 2017)
We will try it right away!
Cheers,
Eric

Hello, With this issue still occurring, our client refuses the delivery of the solution in his production environment. He is now considering a complete withdraw of the SDK. Could you please provide an availability date for a fix? Either via a quick fix or through a new release of the SDK. Thank you ...

Erickc

Hi, I noticed that version 7.0.323.0 of PDF-XChange Editor End User edition was released last week. A new version of PDF-XChange Editor SDK seems to have been released on the same day but it's still at 6.0.322.7. Can you tell if this update has the fix for our crash problem? If not, do you now have ...

Erickc

Hello guys,

Do you have any updates about the release date of the next build with this fix?

Thanks!

Hi, We're the proud owner of a brand new PDF-XChange Editor SDK licence! We used "SetLicKey" to activate it in our application and everything seems ok but we would like to be sure that the SDK was correctly registered. In the online doc, SetLicKey has an output parmeter "VARIANT_BOOL*...

Erickc

Thank you Alex for the good news,
We will follow with great interest the release of this next release!

Hi, We have issues with .xfdf annotations import on PDF-image (scanned) documents. The import itself works fine but when we close the application, we get a crash error. The same code with PDF-Text document causes no problem. Our app is written in PowerBuilder but we managed to make a C# application ...

Erickc

Thank you asamrith@gmail.com !!

Erickc

Hello Alex,

Just like asamrith@gmail.com, we are also looking for a C# sample for exportCommentsAndFields.

Could it be possible for you to add one for this specific function on the wiki?

Thanks,

Eric

Erickc

Thank you Patrick!

Thank you for the post. Are you using French Standard or French Switzerland?
Thank you!

Hello Patrick,
It's French Standard.

There should be a "Languages" folder at the same level where the Editor exe/dlls are if there isn't please create it and put the new language files in there - and the SDK will translate correctly as well.

Thank you Stefan, it worked!

Erickc

Thank you Stefan,

The language file (French.xclpack) successfully corrected all the issues in the "end user/standalone" version of PDF-XChange Editor.

But the same file doesn't seem to be recognized and usable on a computer with only the SDK. Should it be?

Thank you,

Eric

Erickc

Hi,
We have the French version of the SDK and on some contextual menus, items are still in English.
Here is an example, see the first three items:
Could you correct this in a future release?
Best regards,
Eric

Erickc

Thank you!
(and of course I meant stdcall and not "strcall". Sorry for this bad typo.)

Erickc

Thank you so much Alex, We will hopefully make it work in PowerBuilder. On a side note, we were made aware that PowerBuilder only supports external functions that were exported using the WINAPI (_stdcall) format. Is this requirement applicable to PDF -XChange Editor SDK? May be this could explain ou...

Erickc

Hi, Would it be possible for you to supply us a more complete VB6 example of a call to ExecuteJS with importAnXFDF as javascript command? Something that would show the declaration, initialization and usage of the 5 parameters would really help us to finally complete our proof of concept and confirm ...

Erickc

Thank you.
Have a great day!

Erickc

Hello Alex,
No luck. Our PowerBuilder dev is stuck in a dead-end.
I think a VB6 example will be much needed.
Thank you.
Eric

Hello Alex Here is the code (PS, our need is for export CommentsAndField, I made a mistake in my previous question - I'm the messenger not the actual programmer!) oleobject myDoc oleObject pxcInst oleObject afsInst oleObject myPath //Save menu setting... it works ole_pdfxchange_editor_control.object...

Erickc

Hello Alex,

We failed to execute both op.document.exportCommentsAndFields and IPXV_Inst::ExecuteJS Method

Our problem seems to be related to PDF Editor Layer access. We can't instantiate or access it.

Finally, your offer for a simple example in VB6 would be welcome.

Thank you!

Eric

Erickc

Hi Alex,

I just saw your reply!

Many thanks!!

Eric

Erickc

Hello again Alex,

Good news - OpenDocFromPath works to get the annotation!

The only thing left is the ability to save back those annotations.

Cheers,
Eric

Erickc

Hello Alex,

We will try it but I think that even if it works, we would still have to find a way to export those annotations in a separate xfdf file. With the Viewer SDK, the only way was through Javascript.

Cheers,
Eric

Erickc

Hello Alex,

That would be awesome

Thank you!

Eric

Erickc

Thank you Alex, Effectively, with the correct path, it now works in both JS consoles. But we still struggle to make it works in our PowerBuilder app. Do you see something that could be wrong in the following code? Or maybe you have a example in another programming language thant C# that would be clo...

Erickc

Hello Alex

This command opens a file selection dialog window in both the JS console of the End user Edition and the demo application supplied with the JDK :

Code: Select all

importAnXFDF("C:\Temp\annots.xfdf")

We expected that it should load the annotations without the dialog window.

Cheers,

Eric

Erickc

Hello Stefan, Yes, we use IPXV_Inst::ExecuteJS Method. Here the code snippet : OLEObject myIcab OLEObject myDoc any la_null, la_nullout setnull(la_null) //open document … OK - It works! myIcab = ole_pdfXchange_editor_control.Object.Inst.CreateOpenDocParams() ole_pdfXchange_editor_control.Object.Open...

Hi, In a PowerBuilder 12.5 application, we are trying to import and export programmatically in a .xfdf file all the annotations present in a PDF. We succeeded by using PDFXChange Viewer Active X SDK and these commands : Ole_PDF.Object.RunJavaScript( 'this.importAnXFDF( "'C:\temp\annot.xfdf'&quo...

For info and if it may helps someone in the future, here is what made "OpenDocFromPath" work OLEObject myIcab myIcab = ole_pdfXchange_editor_control.Object.Inst.CreateOpenDocParams() ole_pdfXchange_editor_control.Object.OpenDocFromPath( 'C:\Temp\abc.pdf' , myIcab) Thank you again Tracker s...

Erickc

Thank you very much Alex.

It's very appreciated and will definitely be useful!

Cheers,

Eric

Erickc

Thank you Alex,

Could it be possible for you to give us an example? Something in VB6 would be great and closer to PowerBuilder than C#.

Cheers,

Erickc

Thank you Alex, uo_pdf_annot.ole_pdf_editor.Object.ShowPane('stampsView', true, false) works! So we suspected that the "\" may have to be escaped. We tried several combinations to get a string parameter that result in " C:\Temp\abc.pdf" Everytime we pass the resulting string to o...

Please have a look at the readme.pdf file for explanations.

Hi Alex,

We have a .ZIP with all the file you will need for a sample that doesn't require a complete Power Builder install.

How can I sen it to you?

Hello Alex,

It's in PowerBuilder. Are you OK with this?

Hi, We want to create an OLE custom control with PDF_Xchange Editor ActiveX Control in a PowerBuilder 12.5 legacy application. We downloaded the latest version of the Editor SDK and are using PDFXEditCOre.x86.dll We are aware than Powerbuider is an older tool/langage that has more in common with Vis...

Erickc

Hello Stefan,

A quick note to let you know that probably more than likely, the doVerb problems were caused by some PowerBuilder quirks that we were finally able to get around.

Best regards!

Eric

Erickc

Thank you Stefan,

I will try the Full Demo project and let you know if I get more success with doVerb.

Cheers,
Eric

Hello, I have problems with PDF-XChange Viewer ActiveX Control in a PowerBuilder 12.5.2 client application. When I call the doVerb method, it works but any instruction that would come after in my code isn’t executed. It’s just as if PowerBuilder lose control. For example, a function used to rotate t...
