Hello Alex, i figured and just did that! As far as i can tell it basically does the same we do in our application. You can find the project in the attachments. What bugs me is, that the WINWORD.exe isn't terminated, but thats probably because of the crash. We are using Microsoft Office Professional ...

DeKo

Hello Alex, im aware of that. As you can see the code is in try-catch, but the exception is never caught. The application is just crashing. I left the error handling out but we do exactly that: public static void WriteHSResultLog(Exception ex) { try { var pxvInst = PDFXinstance.PXV_Instance; var aux...

Hi guys! i have problems with the converting of docx-Files after updating to Version 8. Following code worked fine with V6, but now crashes with a AccessViolationException within the PDFXEditCore.dll (if the windows event log is needed, i try to get it, i only have a german one at the moment) IPXC_D...

Hello Stefan, oh i see. Well, in my understanding it was something pdf related... I was just given the task to support this standard and from what i was given, it seemed like it was something only pdf related. I also talked with our customers and it seems like the PDF/A - Files created with PDFX Cha...

Hello, are there plugins or is it in the plans to support the pdf standard"Annex-F"? Its a "Standard for the electronic filing and processing of internationl applications" (Source: https://www.wipo.int/pct/en/texts/ai/annex_f.html ) Any information regarding this topic helps us, ...

Hi Alex,

well, i was hoping for a setting that influences the fonts with which our customer has a little of a problem... But seems like it just is not possible.

Hi all, the Convert Method of IPXV_ImportConverter has an optional parameters-parameter. I know the basics of ICab but with the CABNodeExplorer i can't find anything for the import converter. Is there anything i can configure with those parameters? To give you some background: One of our users notic...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

i didnt meant to make the question sound offensive. But thats great to hear, thank you! You really helped me there.

Greetings,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello Alex,

yeah i know about that. My question was rather, does your exporter take that into account? I just want to make sure what to expect in long term, if we use that

Greetings,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello Alex, thank you for your efforts! That already helps me a lot and good to hear that converting is working fine so far. One more question about the ExportConverter, can you tell me what exactly it does? I mean, does it simply add a "pdf/a flag" or is there some extra logic that modifi...

DeKo

Hello Alex, i just tried something out, seems like my informations weren't quiet on point, im sorry. I am testing with a docx file, apparently the "export to xps/pdf" from office word behaves differently than printing as a pdf. Using "Microsoft Print to PDF" results in the same b...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

give me some time to prepare the project. Meanwhile i tested converting with the end-user editor and then exporting the resulting pdf into pdf/a. Same result as with the ImportConverter, so the validation failed. I use this online tool.

You will hear from me soon.

Greetings,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello guys, so first of all... is there a way to directly convert a file (which is not a pdf) to a pdf that is in PDF/A format? I've only seen examples with a export converter but that would be from pdf -> pdf/a. Meanwhile i tried doing the following: convert file with import converter to a pdf file...

DeKo

Hello Stefan, thanks for replying and sorry for writing back so late! (I had 2 weeks off and pretty busy) Unfortunatly, we didn't get this setting right yet. We noticed, if we manually disable this option in word and then convert the result is as expected => the word functions aren't updated. But we...

DeKo

Hello Alex,
Hello Willy,

yeah thats what i meant. And i am looking for a way to disable that when converting pdfs programmatically with the IPXV_ImportConverter. I just came to work, i will try to get a sample file if needed.

Greetings,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello Alex,

i'm afraid i can't give you an example yet. I was given the task to look up if we can set it up. To be honest with you i tought it would be self explanatory..

I am sorry for the inconvenience! I have to come back to you next week.

Greetings and have a nice week,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello,

in some cases the word field functions are updated when converting a .doc/x-file to pdf via the responsible IPXV_Converter. Is there a setting to disable updating the word field functions when converting?

Thanks in advance

Greetings,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello Alex,

thanks for the sample

I was unable to test that out yet since my schedule is pretty tight, but i'll keep that in mind when i'm approaching that problem again.

If anything comes up i just let you know.

Dennis

Hello Alex, i have news. Our customer and i looked at three computers, each of them running windows 7 professional in 64-bit. The result of the licences were the following: PC 1: pc 1 office.png PC 2: pc 2 office.png PC 3: pc 3 office.png The first two computers showed the warning. The last couldn't...

DeKo

Hello, so, in our software we often use multiple controls in different windows. So far we never had problems (and the following isn't really a huge problem but somewhat ugly). So, we have window A and window B. The control in window A does have following bars: file, zoom, commenting, rotating. On th...

DeKo

Hello Alex, the user has windows 7 64-bit (which license exactly i do not know, but can ask if necessary), Office Home and Bussiness 2010, Word runs in 32-bit and the Word Version is 14.0.7208.5000. If that helps, office on that computer was installed on 29th Jan. 2015. The software that has pdf x c...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

i just confirmed with our customer that only Office Home and Business 2010 is installed and all of its products are activated.

Edit: I have additional question: If i would decide to surpress the warning, is there a way to log that the message would be shown?

Cheers,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello Alex,

thank you very much! This helped.

Hello Alex, im sorry if i wasn't clear. I have problems disabling the specific "Edit form" Button. I looked that up in the Full Demo, but when i disabled all command bars, that button was the only one remaining. In the meantime i at least found the cmd for it (cmd.tool.editFields). See set...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

thank you! I forgot about that sample, im sorry! Will look into that. As most of your examples are on point, im sure i will find my answer there. If something comes up, i will come back to you

Hello again! I hope its okay to open seperate topics for each of my problems. I couldn't find anything the forums regarding my problems... so please bear with me a bit! :) This should be relative easy to solve, but i just couldn't find it... How can i disable the "edit form" (in the pictur...

Hello all! I have a somewhat weird behavior with stamps. The notable method which returns the rectangle in which the stamp should be placed is: private PXC_Rect GetRectByPoint(int breite, int hoehe, int x, int y, uint pageNum) // breite = width, hoehe = height { IPXC_Page page = pdfCtl.Doc.CoreDoc.P...

Hello Alex,

thank you for the quick response!

Hello all, i didn't find anything useful with the search... The question is pretty simple. How is the safest way to update to a newer SDK Version? Simply replace the PDFXEditCore.x*.dll 's and redistrube it to our customers? Do i have to reregister the Dlls? I wanted to make sure i don't leave anyth...

DeKo

Hello Alex, yeah i saw that its working in the FullDemo. I couldn't figure out yet if my anchors are set properly and if its docked correctly. But the hint that it has something to do with those 2 already helps me, just needed some help where to search. I will keep you updated! Thanks and greetings,...

DeKo

Hi all, i have a bit of a problem with the view of the page fitting the control. Let me try to explain with pictures: This is how it first looks like when i open the window: https://i.imgur.com/DeiUZXQ.png When i change the size, especially problematic when making the window smaller, it looks like t...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

thank you very much! Now its perfect. I wouldn't find that by myself.

I was fighting 2 days with this, i am really glad for your help!

Thank you again and greetings,
Dennis

DeKo

Hello Alex, after looking at the sample, unfortunatly im still confused. I checked all stamp samples and all PXC_Rect Objects had left = 0 and top = 800. But all stamps from the 4 examples had different position. How come so? The coordinates of the top left corner of the rectangle is (0 ; 800) and y...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

i will check that out and if anything comes up i will let you know.

Thank you for bearing with our problems and trying your best to help, i appreciate it a lot!

Greetings,

DeKo

Hello Alex, im really sorry, but it just doesn't work out. It's really confusing with all those different points and rectangles (tagPoint, PXC_Point, _POINTL, and so on...) I can't seem to find the right coordinate for the top left corner. I understand the example and i understand how it should work...

DeKo

Hello Alex, i need to bug you again. So i want to place a stamp on the top left corner. If my understanding is correct, that would be in the coordinates (0 ; height of media box). I then get the point in the page with the pdfCtl.Doc.ActiveView.PagesView.Layout.HitTest method. If i follow the example...

DeKo

Hello again! A quick update from my side. I did manage to figure the coordinates out better. I still have some question marks on my head, but i think i can manage somehow. Would still appreciate some more information, but i know that sometimes work is just too busy. So don't mind just heading on to ...

DeKo

Hello Alex, thank you for the fast reply. I don't quiet understand what you mean with "annotation placement is being done within the Media Box of the page"... Can you further specify how the PDF Coordinate System works? I looked here https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:PXC_Rect to fin...

DeKo

Hello, i have a question about how exactly the PXC_Rect determines the position and size of an annotation when using the InsertNewAnnot Method from PXC_Page. The relevant code sample: PXC_Rect pRect = new PXC_Rect { left = 300, bottom = 0, right = -300, top = 0 }; IPXS_Inst pSInt = (IPXS_Inst)pdfCtl...

DeKo

Hello Alex, thanks for the fast reply. I checked the FullDemo and saw pdfCtl.Doc.ActivateTool(2125); I wasn't sure if i edited the solution or if it was used like that. Sorry for the trouble. My next approach was initializing the ids, but i wasn't sure where to look, thanks for the hint. I will try ...

DeKo

Hello, i hope someone can help me. I wasn't sure if i should start a new topic or reply here, since it kinda has to do something with the default tool. So, before we show the pdf control, i set the defaul tool to text select by this code: pdfCtl.Inst.DefaultTool = pdfCtl.Inst.GetTool(2125); This is ...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

thanks for the help! I'm still struggling with all the different types of documents etc... Its working now (even without the solutions from the link you sent)

Hello Alex, thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunatly none of the solutions seem to work for me. EDIT (1h after initial answer): This is how i save the document: if(HasChanges) { //pdfCtl.Doc.ActiveView.PagesView.Obj.SetInputFocus(); int eventID = pdfCtl.Inst.Str2ID("e.document.applyCachedChange...

Hello folks, i have a tiny problem. In our software we have a list of documents and on the left side a control with the pdfx editor, that shows the selected item in the list. I've written a class that manages the control and checks if there is changes (for now only sticky notes are really relevant)....

DeKo

Hello, the default tool is the "hand". I want to change it to "text select". I know there is an option to set the default tool and even an option that saves the last used tool. I've looked into the full demo and other topics in the forum, but i didnt find anything. The only thing...

DeKo

Hello Alex, thanks. But that doesnt help me that much unfortunatly.

In the example u used Inst.AddPluginFromFile() method. S...

DeKo

Hello Alex,

thanks for the fast reply. So i can assume that the customers of our company have the same options avaiable as i have on my machine i develop on?

Hello,

sorry to dig up such an old post. But it kinda fits well in here.

Where can i find the plugin to use? And my list of exportconverter's doesn't have conv.exp.pdfa in it. Am i missing something?

Thanks!
