Hallo everybody,

i am new to the forum but i have made my experiences with the QuickPdf-Library for about 4 years now.

I tried to use the XFA-functions like "GetXFAFormFieldName", with a Designer-made (7.1) pdf-file. But the only thing i get is a gpf (general protection fault).

Has anybody made some succesful attemps using these funtions or is it still a dummy?

P.S. I use the DLL-version of the Library Version 7.14.

Hi mlange,

The GetXFAFormFieldName function should have worked with a Adobe Designer 7.1 made file. Is there anywhere that you could upload this file to for us to look at? If you can't share the document with the public email me the document at rowan.hanna@quickpdflibrary.com.

Cheers,

- Rowan.

Hi Rowan, ty for you reply.

Ok, for further investigatins here is the Code and the file:

1. Code
    Dim x As Long
    Dim fcountInt As Integer
    Dim fcountlong As Long


    ' ########################
    ' Try with the DLL-Version
    ' ########################

    Dim inst As Long
    inst = QuickPDFCreateLibrary()
    x = QuickPDFUnlockKey(inst, "my key")
    x = QuickPDFLoadFromFile(inst, "Designer71.pdf")
    fcountlong = QuickPDFGetXFAFormFieldCount(inst)



    ' ########################
    ' Try with the AX-Version
    ' ########################



    Dim qp As Object
    Set qp = CreateObject("QuickPDFAX0714.PDFLibrary")
    qp.UnlockKey ("my key")

    x = qp.LoadFromFile("Designer71.pdf")
    fcountInt = qp.GetXFAFormFieldCount()

2. Screens from the Errors:

2.1 AX-Version

2.2 DLL-Version

3. The file i have used (not the original, but the same effect)

Hi mlange

I have tried the activeX version and it works fine for me, i got 3 in fcountint.

the only change i've done is to dim fcountInt as a long

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Qp As Object
Dim X As Long
Dim fcountInt As Long
    Set Qp = CreateObject("QuickPDFAX0714.PDFLibrary")
    X = Qp.UnlockKey("xxxx")

    X = Qp.LoadFromFile("C:\PdfVisu\PdfTest\AFX\Designer71.pdf")
    fcountInt = Qp.GetXFAFormFieldCount()
MsgBox fcountInt
End Sub

Ty for the reply.

I have tried the other declaration also. But no success. Btw, in the reference guide, the dll-version of 7.14 returns an integer...

Another Question: There are only two fields in the pdf-file. Why does the function returns 3?

Whitghout loading a pdf file, Qp.GetXFAFormFieldCount() return 1. I think it's a bug

We'll look at this further internally, thanks for pointing this out...
