problem with PXCp_PlaceContents VB

wesallen · Post by **wesallen** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 4:03 pm

I am trying to create a header for a pdf document and then merge an existing document with the new one. I am able to create the new document, transfrom the existing document to shrink the first page, but can't merge the 2 using PXCp_PlaceContents. I do not receive an error message, and all I end up with in the end is the new document with no data from the exisiting doc. Here is code I am trying to use

res = PXCp_Init(NewPDF, InitPDF, InitPDFDevCode)
If IS_DS_FAILED(res) Then GoTo Error
res = PXCpVB_ReadDocumentW(NewPDF, CurrentProjectFolder$ & PdfFileName$, 0)
If IS_DS_FAILED(res) Then GoTo Error
Dim placeInfo As PXCp_ContentPlaceInfo
placeInfo.Alignment = 0
placeInfo.DestPage = NewPDF
placeInfo.SrcPage = ptrpdf
res = PXCp_PlaceContents(NewPDF, ptrpdf, 1, placeInfo, 0)
If IS_DS_FAILED(res) Then GoTo Error

res = PXCpVB_WriteDocumentW(NewPDF, CurrentProjectFolder$ & PdfFileName$, PXCp_CreationDisposition_Overwrite, PXCp_Write_Release)

Oops - looks like you have misread the function documentation ...

placeInfo.DestPage = NewPDF // here shoud be the page index in the destination file, NOT the destination file handle

placeInfo.SrcPage = ptrpdf // and here - page index in the source file

No Problem

I still have the same problem, but now I get an error when I try to open the document in adobe. The error is An Unrecognized token "cm1" was found. I probably still have something wrong with the PXCp_PlaceContents function. I have zipped the code I am trying to use along with one of the exisiting pdf files. Thanks

I'm afraid we need both source files and a result file. Please post them here or send me on Ivan@tracker-software.com
