Whoops, sorry -- UCODE$ is the solution.  I've corrected my earlier post to reflect this.

Thanks again guys!

Just to confirm  -  was it the UCODE$ or the UCASE$ function that fixed the problem or does it require both functions.

Andrew.

Well I have confirmed it was a missing UCODE$ call.  Thanks for the attention guys, definitely appreciated!

As a reference, for those of you using PowerBASIC -- be sure to UCODE$ the filename argument when passing it to LoadFromFile()!

Stop the presses..... success!!!

I went back and read over this entire thread, and noticed you mentioned unicode was introduced in version 8.  I neglected to recall that in PowerBASIC, you need to explicitly use the UCODE$ function on a string in order to pass it as unicode.  So I passed the filename argument to LoadFromFile() using UCODE$, and it worked!!

I'm going to do some more tests, but it's looking good.  I'll report back shortly with final confirmation...

I'm still trying a few tests here, but nothing successful yet.

Not sure if this helps -- but here's a link to the PowerBASIC include file I generated (using QuickPDFLite0812.dll):

Sorry, I completely forgot to follow up on the C# test.  I just tried again... and it worked!

This must be a PowerBASIC issue then...  let me check that code again and see if anything stands out.

The files are loading properly into QPL 8.xx. 

Have you managed to get the C# project running ?

Version 8 was a major change to using Unicode strings internally but we have PowerBasic customers using the v8.xx library without problems.

Have you tried the 30 day trial evaluation version ?  I will see if I can find a link to the 7.25 Lite Version that you can download.

Andrew.

Guy guys -- just wondering if you had a chance to check into this any further.

In the meantime, is there a different Lite version I can download and try?  The download.com link for version 7.25 on your Freeware page actually goes to version 8.

Thanks!

Can you send us a link to one of your PDF files.  I can check to see if the file is loading correctly on my system.]]> Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:32:47 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/loadfromfile-always-fails_topic2057_post8765.html#8765
