Hi Nik! If you're using the "normal" dll there's no need to register with regsvr32 'cause there isn't an entry-point (like in many other dlls). Keep in mind that QuickPDF comes in different versions: ActiveX, Delphi, normal DLL... QP is a normal dll and VBA is able to work with dlls - so you can do the merge with QP. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo |

Thank you for your answer, could you indicate me if I have to declare somewhere the DLL as a Class library ?. I saw several code examples, but I'm not so skilled with Active X & so On. Thank you |

Dim InstanceID As Long InstanceID = QuickPDFCreateLibrary() If (QuickPDFUnlockKey(InstanceID, "regnumber") = 1) Then IDIST = QuickPDFReleaseLibrary(InstanceID) MyPath = ThisDrawing.Path & "\*F*.pdf" ' Set the path. Myname = Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory) ' Retrieve the first entry. Do While Myname <> "" ' Start the loop. ' Ignore the current directory and the encompassing directory. If Myname <> "." And Myname <> ".." Then xx = QuickPDFAddToFileList(InstanceID, "MyListName", Myname) nn = QuickPDFFileListCount(InstanceID, "MyListName") zz = QuickPDFMergeFileList(InstanceID, "MyListName", "MyFile.pdf") Debug.Print Myname ' Display entry only if it End If ' it represents a directory. Myname = Dir ' Get next entry. Loop End If End Sub pls could you help me ? I'm trying to add several pdf file in one, so I'm trying to create a file list, then I check the count of file in the file list, and then merge together, but with-out success. The return of file count is zero, the same for the filelist ? What's wrong ? Thank you

Hi! Why not try the knowledgebase article from the official support pages? It's all there... how working with a dll... merging files... Again: why not reading? Cheers, Ingo |

Pls do not blame me, even If I'm newbie of this forum, I already use several others forums ?! Just a question do you know if the trial version of quick pdf library has some functionality limitation ? Thank you.

To use this method, all the PDFs must not have any security on them. So
check if your PDFs have security. Second, as written your code will
never work. The merge function needs more then 1 file on the list to
work. Try this: Myname = Dir(MyPath, vbDirectory) ' Retrieve the first entry.
Do
While Myname <> "" ' Start the loop.
' Ignore
the current directory and the encompassing directory.
If
Myname <> "." And Myname <> ".." Then
xx =
QuickPDFAddToFileList(InstanceID, "MyListName", Myname)
nn
= QuickPDFFileListCount(InstanceID, "MyListName")
Debug.Print Myname ' Display entry only if it
End If ' it represents a directory.
Myname = Dir
' Get next entry.
Loop
zz =
QuickPDFMergeFileList(InstanceID, "MyListName", "MyFile.pdf")Wheeley |

Hi! The testversion doesn't have any functional limitations as lon as you're using a valid (test-)key to unlock the lib first. Cheers, Ingo |

Thank you for your answer but I'm receiving always 0 (zero) from any function that I call ! I cannot understand. I got the IstanceID in this way, as suggested from quick pdf web site: Dim InstanceID As Long InstanceID = QuickPDFCreateLibrary() If (QuickPDFUnlockKey(InstanceID, "YOUR KEY ...") = 1) Then IDIST = QuickPDFReleaseLibrary(InstanceID) even if I use the IDIST variable (calling the function) or I use IstanceID variable the return value it's alway zero. I tried to use any other simple function, eg create a buffer, the problem it's the same. Does somebody never used before this procedure with VBA (visual basic for application) ? probably there is some incompatibility. But in this case, I should receive an error calling any type of function inside the DLL !? isn't true ? I asked also to main support in the FAQ on QP web site, i'm waiting for an answer. Than you again

Hi! There aren't any problems with VBA. QuickPDF can be used with VBA, too. If you need further informations in this case you should try the official support-pages. I think here you'll find what you need: http://help.quickpdflibrary.com/search?q=VBA Cheers, Ingo |

Seems that the problem with ActiveX has been solved, now I have to solve some issues with document merge. The function ask a document ID, if I have a AddToFileList with a listName already populated of document name (pls note that documents are not opened there is only a list getting from a specific dir function), how I can get each docID ?, I insert the function to get the document ID in the loop that get the file name, but only the first return and ID. Any suggestion will be accepted.

Problem solved, there was a problem with unlock code. Just another question why the layer inside each document will be not stored in the merged file ?

Hi! Try CombineLayers before... perhaps it helps. Cheers, Ingo |

Thank you, but reading the function specification seems that combine the layer on the same page, my scope will be to combine pages with each one own layer and bookmarks. I read something in the knowledge base web site and seems that the bookmarks are not supported by QUICK PDF, I'll search better. Ciao

Hi! Another question could be what will happen if you're merging two files with layer 1 to a new targetfile... How the new layer 1 would look like ;-) Try it and share your new knowledges here. Cheers, Ingo |

I'll try to answer to your question: 1) If I combine pdf files with adobe acrobat, it's combine also the layer and bookmarks of each file, even if you have the same layer name in each file. 2) If I combine file with QP 7.19 with AddFilelist & MergeFileList functions and SaveToFile the final final contain only the bookmarks and the layer of the first page. I hope this could help you to understand the problem I don't know how to attach here a file, this could help you more.
