Hi - I simply need the spaces because they are there - meaning, if a client wants them for spacing purposes, I need to keep them. I suggest that you should not be trimming text without offering a way to turn it off since we can easily trim strings on our own. What is a non-breaking space when using ...

Hi -
I'm using IPXC_Document PlaceWatermark and it seems that it is inherently trimming (removing) spaces from the beginning and the end of my strings.
So " hello " becomes "hello".

How can I avoid this?

It is wreaking havoc with my formatting...

Hi Alex - The post you refer to talks about DrawToIXCPage. If mmassod is trying to print directly to a printer is DrawToIXCPage still a viable (and faster) option? Or is the original DrawToDC still the proper way? Also, I have noticed delays of up to 30 seconds when trying to print a vector page. So...

Hi Alex -

Sure, but you could do this -

"Arial Black"
.Italic = <true/false>
.Bold = <true/false>
"Arial Narrow"
etc...

I guess I'm just used to the StdFont object or this:
"10,Arial,0,0,400,0,0,0,0,3,2,1,34"

BTW - I like the new Forum look!

whoit

OK, I updated and have the same issue, so I dug through my code and found that I was calculating my text size using the 'tracker font name' e.g. "Arial Bold Italic" instead of the System (or StdFont object) Name "Arial" and was returning invalid info. It looks like all is well no...

whoit

OK, I'll update now and let you know - thanks again.

Hi Alex -

I'm not sure what the bug could be -

I can process correctly with any "primary" font name, e.g. "Arial" or "Garamond"
however every 'sub-type' fails and returns no text at all.

I'm using Windows 10 standard OpenType fonts.

We're using Core API 6.0.317.1

whoit

Hi Alex - I've seen some of the updates, but still have questions about Fonts for example. It states that the name is also used for Bold and Italic but what is the Syntax? "Arial" works fine but I've tried "Arial Bold" "Arial_Bold" "Arial-Bold" "Arial.Bol...

Hi John - That's a really disturbing answer! There are dozens of times we come across "documentation" pages without usage or detailed information. We see things like a property "AlignLeft" and the reference page describes it as "Sets the AlignLeft value" which is comple...

Hi - I'm reading through the Docs for CORE SDK and virtually everything is blank. For example, when I go to this page https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:IPXC_WatermarkParams_VAlign I expect some info on - the possible values - alignment in reference to what exactly? the page top? bottom? Or th...

What about the default for the font size Scale?

Is it really 0.5 by default?

If so why?

Hi Alex -

Can you tell me:

1) When your next meeting is
and
2) When we can expect a fix?

We have a release deadline that we are going to miss since this is not working.

Thanks,
Wayne

Great - thanks.

We'll keep an eye out for it !

Hi Stefan -

How are things going? Will you be releasing 317 soon?

whoit

Great - we'll give it a try.

Thanks again!

Alex - Glad you liked it! (don't get used to it! :wink: ) Ok so now I have some follow-up questions: (You didn't think I was done, did you?? :) ) Is there any way to do this in the current version of the libs? (Perhaps a different kind of form field? or adding the image via disk file instead of open...

I need to be able to open a PDF document (1), and also open a PDF Form (2).
Then I need to take a page from the PDF Document (1) and insert it into a Button Field (as an Icon)
within the PDF Form (2).

I have provided a sample graphic and form.

Is is possible, using any of the Tracker libraries, to embed a PDF page into a field in a different PDF document (form) ? For example, I have a PDF Form that includes a few text fields, and I'd like to use another field to contain a pdf page from another document (kind of like a screenshot - however...

Hi Alex -

Is there a release date yet on this fix?

(build 317)

Thanks,
Wayne

whoit

And by "Editor" you mean the Core API too?

But no specific date yet?

whoit

Hi Alex -

Do you have an update on the release of this fix?

Thanks.

Hello whoit, Just re-read the thread and found my post: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/viewtopic.php?p=97392#p97392 So the fix should be out in the 317. Cheers, Alex Hi Alex - Thanks for confirming this. In your post you mentioned the fix would be in February. Can you please tell me when (date) 317 ...

Hi Alex -

I just tested 316.1 and it is not fixed.

Please let me know when the fixed build will be released.

Thanks,

Hi Alex - In your post from Jan 21 both you and Ivan indicated this was an issue (setting float values for Watermark Header Footer) and would be fixed in February. Are you saying that this fix has been implemented? If so, what version of CORE API ? (The date for the CORE API online is listed as Jan ...

Hi Everyone -

Has this fix been implemented yet?

We have several projects pending so the sooner the better.

Thanks.

(This question may belong in a different Forum) Can you tell me the capabilities of handling 3D PDFs using Core API ? We have a client that uses 3D PDFs and our concern is that we will disable some of the interactive features that 3D allows. I'm trying to get sample files that I can share with you b...

Thanks for doing that!

Hi Alex - I noticed one piece of code that could really use an explanation, even though it's probably very short. The "GetExtension" call - the explanation basically re-states the call (get extension) and there is no listing that I can find of what the possible extensions are! I always thi...

whoit

Hi Alex - Sure, I understand. I write the docs for our company too. It's just a suggestion - if there's a trade-off I'd choose updating code every time. Perhaps just a look-up list instead of modifying all the docs? Maybe something simple like: WatermarkParams.HOffset value = Points (72/inch) (defau...

whoit

Thanks Ivan.

Sasha mentioned that earlier in this post.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next build!

whoit

I'd like to make a suggestion for the Documentation: When listing the API, can you please add the Units and Defaults ? Examples Examples.zip http://www.coastallogic.com/public/TrackerPics/Capture.PNG http://www.coastallogic.com/public/TrackerPics/Capture2.PNG http://www.coastallogic.com/public/Track...

whoit

ok...

Can you notify me when the new build is available?

Thanks,
Wayne

whoit

OK, and I guess Rotation would be degrees (0-360)?

Are these values documented somewhere?

whoit

I think you've misunderstood - I'm not looking for the Data Type (Float, etc) - I'm looking for the 'real world units' So when the Docs say 'FontSize requires a Float' - that's fine but it doesn't let me know the Units - a value in Points? Picas? Inches? MM? etc.... There are many values that are 'r...

whoit

Well, I was hoping for something sooner - maybe "February" means "February 5th" not "February 30th" ??? Anyway, can you answer a more generic question about the Core API? Where can I find the Units required in documentation? For example, when setting a value for "F...

whoit

I had a feeling it might be something like that....the ULONG and String params worked fine.

Does this affect other APIs or just the WatermarkParams ?

Do you know when the next build will be available?

Thanks,
Wayne

I'm really hoping this will end soon.... I'm trying to set values for the wmParams (Watermark params) from the code above. This seems to work OK: Dim wmParams As IPXC_WatermarkParams Set wmParams = gInst.CreateWatermarkParams() wmParams.Text = "banner" wmParams.WatermarkType = Watermark_Te...

Fantastic!

Thank you again.....

whoit

Yeah - I looked at that - I'm not sure how to set it up/use it in VB.

To be honest, I'm finding it difficult to "translate" the documentation into VB6....

whoit

No problem - gee, I guess being specific would help - sorry about that.

I figured you'd copy/paste the code, run it, and see the errors - but I'll be more detailed *next time*

Good night!

Hi - I guess I didn't explain properly - this isn't about the file with security. You can use a file without security to see what I mean about the code. (I used the same code sent to me to avoid confusion, but I guess that didn't work!) Try this code instead using a non-protected pdf: Private Sub Co...

This works!

Thank you so much for helping me out.

One day, soon I hope, we'll translate all of our code to something more current than VB6.....I hope.....soon....

I tried this new sample and it won't work in VB6. I looked through the code and it seems quite odd - This Sub still calls for the edit control: Private Sub IPXC_DocAuthCallback_AuthDoc(ByVal pDoc As PDFXEditCtl.IPXC_Document, ByVal nFlags As PDFXEditCtl.ULONG_T) Part of the problem is that there is ...

The VB project requires that this dll be referenced: PDFXEditCore.x86.dll Then this function: Private Sub IPXC_DocAuthCallback_AuthDoc(ByVal pDoc As PDFXEditCtl.IPXC_Document, ByVal nFlags As PDFXEditCtl.ULONG_T) There's probably another one or two references, but most seem to be available in the Co...

Hi Alex -

First - thanks again to you and/or your teammate who provided the sample!

Next - (you didn't think this was done, did you?)

It seems the sample uses the Editor SDK, but I'm interested in using only the CoreAPI

Can you try one more time using ONLY the CoreAPI ??

whoit

What are the chances of getting VB6 code?

(Don't hate me )

Thanks for the info. Sorry to keep asking, but I was specifically interested in this: For example, opening an existing PDF - I do not know how to implement IPXC_Inst::OpenDocumentFrom Method (particularly the callback portion) in VB. The sample you gave in .Net is interesting, but unfortunately does...
