Updating from Release 3.5 to 4

[docu-track99]

We use your PDF Tools SDK 3.5 in our applications. There are explicit DECLARE statements that reference V3.5. For V4 the names of the DLL's have changed so that we cannot just overwrite the V3.5 DLL's with th V4 DLL's. This makes it somewhat difficult to upgrade our users when you change version numbers. Do you have a recommended procedure for doing this?

Hi,

the only way to do this is to use search and replace and modify the dll name - e.g. :

change in the DECLARE statements all, say, "pxclib30.dll" to "pxclib40.dll"

etc for each dll used.

Could the DLL's be renamed to something more generic like "PCXLib.dll"? Then when you come out with a new version we could rename the DLL's to this generic version and we would not have to change our application. This would only work if none of the DLL's are trying to call each other by their expected names.

I appreciate the logic for you in this - but this would cause potential issues for others running multiple releases on a single machine.

Therefore I regret this cannot be done.
