op.document.optimize not creating operation

Daniel_NTT · Post by **Daniel_NTT** » Mon Oct 05, 2020 7:19 am

I want to create and execute the pdf optimize operation programmatically.
I did initialize the IPXV_Inst, added the PDFOptimizer.pvp plugin from file, got the operation ID by using the Str2ID but CreateOp with this ID returns null.

The same code is returning a not null operation when I replace the op.document.optimize with op.document.extractPages.

It maybe has to do with the plugin?
Do I need to activate/load the added plugin?
Any hints are welcome.

Thank you for your answer.
It is not clear why do I need the OCRPlugin plugin for the op.document.optimize operation.

Anyway I tried to load the OCRPlugin.pvp file but with the same result. The optimize operation is still null.
I looked in the installation folder and I found out that I am missing the PluginsData folder.

The EditorV8 msi did not install any PluginsData folder.

Hello Daniel_NTT,

You won't need the OCR plugin - I gave you a sample on how to load plugins - you should load the PDFOptimizer.pvp plugin.

Cheers,

I did register manually the PDFXEditCore.x86.dll with regsvr32 and it is working now.

Thank you
