COM Exception during CPXCControlExClass.get_Printer(...)

[jtuemmer]

I am evaluating PDFXChange for integration into my own application.

I have written the following code (C#, VS 2008)

Code: Select all

...
public class TestPDFXChange {

        private CPXCPrinter printer;

        public TestPDFXChange() {
            
            CPXCControlEx printerFactory;


            printer = null;

            try {
                printerFactory = new PXCComLib.CPXCControlEx();

                if (printerFactory != null) {

                    printer = (CPXCPrinter)printerFactory.get_Printer("", "pdfXChange", "", "");

                    if (printer != null) {
                        logger.Debug("Printer created");
                        printer.OnFileSaved += new _IPXCPrinterEvents_OnFileSavedEventHandler(pdfXChangeOnFileSavedEventHandler);

                    } else {
                        logger.Error("Printer creation failed");
                    }

                } else {
                    logger.Error("Printer factory creation failed");
                }
            
            } catch (Exception exception) {
                logger.Error("Printer creation failed");
                logger.Error(exception.ToString());
            
            } finally {
            }

    ....

}
...

When the TestPDFXChange class is instantiated, I receive the following COM Exception:

Code: Select all

ERROR TestPDFXChangePrinter [0] - System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
   at PXCComLib.CPXCControlExClass.get_Printer(String pServerName, String pPrinterName, String pRegKey, String pDevCode)
   at TestPDFXChangePrinter..ctor()

My OS is Windows 7 64bit. I have installed the demo version of the SDK from the most current release (4.0185) on the website (https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... rivers-api).

Did I oversee anything? Any Idea?

Issue resolved. Another version of PDF-XChange Pro (3.x) was installed. After removing it and installing the redistributable package of the printer driver, everything is working as expected.
