Hello,

i try to use the DLL from QPDF 8.13 in FoxPro. After running the QuickPDFDLL0813.prg to DECLARE all necessary Functions i call the following:

lnID = QuickPDFCreateLibrary()

lnReturn = QuickPDFUnlockKey(lnID, "Licence Key")

FoxPro stops after the "Unlock" with the Message "Syntax Error". What is going wrong here? I read here in the Forum something regarding UNICODE and FoxPro...

With the AX Version i have no problems but i want to use the DLL Version because of no Client Install.

Has anybody an idea what i can do?

Thanks in advance

Klaus

Can you try using QuickPDFUnlockKeyA(InID, "Licence key");

All the the QPL functions that use a string now have a matching "A" function that accepts a standard 8bit string.

LoadFromFileA

RenderPageToStringA

...

I am pretty sure this was added to the 8.13 Final release.

Andrew.
