Hello,
open 2nd Time a pdf i get error -2147024809. After each open i close document and finalized Core Api by calling the IPXC_Inst::Finalize method.
Code: Select all
Private Function OpenDocumentFromFile(sFilePath As String, pInst As LIBNAME.IPXC_Inst) As LIBNAME.IPXC_Document
Dim pDoc As LIBNAME.IPXC_Document = Nothing
Try
pDoc = pInst.OpenDocumentFromFile(sFilePath, Nothing, Nothing, 0, 0)
Catch ex As Exception
Dim hr As Integer = Marshal.GetHRForException(ex)
ShowErrMsg(hr)
Return Nothing
End Try
Return pDoc
End Function
What's going wrong?
Regards,
edvschu

Hi, edvschu.
You mean you do something like this?
Code: Select all
IPXC_Inst::Init();
IPXC_Document pDoc;
pDoc = OpenDocumentFromFile();
pDoc->Close();
pDoc = null;
IPXC_Inst::Finalize();
IPXC_Inst::Init();
pDoc = OpenDocumentFromFile();
pDoc->Close();
pDoc = null;
IPXC_Inst::Finalize();
With the same document and file path?

Hi Sasha,
i tested now with two different PDFs. Same error. What i do with the pdf, is implemented in a class. For each Task i create a new instance of this.

IPXC_Inst::Init() should be called once per program's workflow. Launching it from several threads is prohibited.

OK, I understand. So i must change this. Thanks a lot, Sasha

For starters, try improving your code like that and then we'll continue to look into your problem further.

Can you provide complete sample to reproduce problem?

Before I present an example available, I will describe the program sequence. A console application is started. The console application is waiting to process a PDF. With the launch IPXC_Inst::Init() is called, before exiting the console application IPXC_Inst::Finalize() runs.
The console application receives a message, processes the PDF and waits for the next request to process a PDF.
The PDF processing is implemented as a class from which an object is created. With this object, the PDF is processed.
Can I do it that way or do I need to outsource the processing of PDF in seperate program?

Is your console apllication a service?
Anyway we will need a complete sample to reproduce a problem. If you don't want to post it here you may send it to
lazycat@tracker-software.com or
support@pdf-xchange.com

It's not a service, but it runs all time. Sample is difficult because console application works with iSeries data queues.
Meantime i have outsource PDF processing in a separate program and there are no problems.

I'm affraid that we will need a way to reproduce problem to be able to help, so sample or remote debug session is required.

I was able to narrow the problem further. Before the PDF is processed with the Core API, that PDF is converted to PDF/A3 with the Driver API. I drop off the conversion, there are no problems.

Hello edvschu,
Just spoke with Lzcat and he suspect that the problem could be several things - e.g. you are not waiting for the drivers API to finish it's work, but without seeing an actual example we can only guess.
In any case - we would not recommend you to do this - as even if the driver creates a PDF/A file - most Core API operations after that will break the compliance with the PDF/A format, and you will need to resave the file after modifying it with the Core API in the needed PDF sub-specification.
Regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
it's possible to create with Core Api a PDF/A3 or is only the way over Driver Api?

Hello edvschu
For now - only Drivers API, later this will be possible using Editor SDK (maybe the CoreAPI as well, but Lzcat is not sure when).

Stefan
