| It seems to me, QuickPDF can't open files with german Umlaut, like "zubehör.pdf". Does anyone know about that topic? |

Hi Didi! Yes... for me, too. I've never had such case 'cause really unusual using umlauts. You should post on the official support-pages ... not here 'cause here're only users. Cheers, Ingo |

Hi Didi! In Delphi 7 I could get around this issue using: PDFLoadFromFile(0, Pchar( AnsiToUtf8(FileName) )); |

| Unicode file names are supported, but for the Delphi and DLL editions of the library you will need to encode using UTF-8. This isn't necessary for the ActiveX edition as COM\ActiveX already uses 16-bit strings... |

But the problem isn't 8 or 16 Bit, it's 7 or 8 Bit. In non-english ,European languages characters in filenames like Ä,Ö,Ü and so on, are as usual as A,E,O.
That's ASCII, no Unicode.

Hi Didi! Unicode or (only) german umlauts... anyway... with the utf-convertion you'll get it to work if there are umlauts. I had the same problem. I've done it like this: // . . . function DoAnything(const FName: PChar): LongInt; stdcall; // . . . fexist := QP.LoadFromFile(FName); if ( fexist = 0 ) then begin fexist := QP.LoadFromFile(Pchar( AnsiToUtf8(FName) )); // . . .
