Problem loading images

[DolphinMann]

I am having issues when attempting to load images.

The following code fails:

this.result = PDFXC_Funcs.PXC_AddImageW(this.pdfObject, newImage, out imageOut);

In the above case I can confirm that I have a valid pdfObject and the newImage(string path to JPG or TIFF file) is valid and the file is not locked. This continuously fails with invalid file format no matter what the path or the image I attempt to load is.

However if I change that above line to:
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(newImage);
IntPtr bitmapPointer = b.GetHbitmap();
GCHandle handle1 = GCHandle.Alloc(b.Palette);
IntPtr palettePointer = (IntPtr)handle1;
this.result = PDFXC_Funcs.PXC_AddImageFromHBITMAP(newPDFObject, bitmapPointer, palettePointer, out imageOut);

It all of a sudden works. The path is the exact same, nothing at all has changed other than I am adding the image from HBITMAP instead of a filepath. Clearly I am doing something wrong as I've seen other posts from people claiming this works.

I understand the solution/issue may not be evident from the above alone, but what other information can I provide? I am confused as to why all other surrounding code is the exact same but changing it to load from a windows bitmap instead of a file path works.

Hello DolphinMann,

Do you have the fm40*.dll dlls included in your project?
Those are the ones responsible for the image formats in question:
Redistribution of PDF-XChange Libraries

I almost certainly do not and I think I missed that entire section of documentation you linked.

Thank you for the response. Let me take a look at that and post my results.
