Thanks!
For future users, here is the actual code, that works:
In C++:
char *fname = "C:\\Temp\\Digi drop\\ùéèçà123\\pages.pdf";
const int SIZE = 1024; // Bytes
                char* text = new char[SIZE];
                WCHAR w[SIZE]={0};

int erg=MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, fname, -1, w, SIZE); // ANSI to UNICODE
erg=WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, w, -1, text, SIZE, 0, 0); // UNICODE to UTF-8 
int hndFile = _QuickPDFDAOpenFile (InstanceID, text, NULL);
if (hndFile != 0)
{
int x = 1;
}
In Java 6 - How to get the same UFT-8 path:
public String getAsString (String result)  
        { 
byte[] bt = result.getBytes(); 
ByteArrayOutputStream sw = new ByteArrayOutputStream (bt.length);
                OutputStreamWriter osw;
try {
osw = new OutputStreamWriter (sw, "UTF8");
       BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter (osw); 
       out.write(result ); 
       out.close(); 
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} 
        return sw.toString(); 
    }

Hi Ilana!

Wheeley already told you what to do ...
Try things like this:
QP.LoadFromFile(Pchar( AnsiToUtf8(c:\\drop\\ùéèçà 1232\\pages.pdf) ))
QP.LoadFromFile(UTF8Encode('c:\\drop\\ùéèçà 1232\\pages.pdf')

...and don't forget Wheeley's ideas 2 and 3 ;-)

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

I am using UTF-8 characters which has their value is bigger then 127. For example one of the characters has the Ansi value  of 199 and 200. Can you please advice?

I can think of 3 ideas.
1. Make sure you send the file name as a UTF8 encoded string to the 7.23 DLL.
2. Try the 7.26 DLL with UTF8 encoding as well
3. Upgrade to version 8 with full unicode support

Hi,

When trying to open a pdf file in a directory that has German characters, the returned handle is 0. Which means that the file could not be opened.
The command DAOpenFile when the file is: "c:\\drop\\ùéèçà1232\\pages.pdf". Any solution for that?
I am using "QuickPDFDLL0723.dll".

Thanks,
Ilana.
