Hi,

It always worked but now SaveToFile method returns 0. In the documentation it means that "The file could not be created". What can I understand from it? I do it after calling DrawImage method which returns 1 (The image was drawn successfully). The file exists because I'm trying to add an image to the same file. I checked the permissions.

What else can I check to fix the problem?

Thank you in advance,

Igor

Hi Igor,

Are you using the trial version by any chance? If so, check to see if the trial license key has expired. This would stop SaveToFile from working. Call LicenseInfo.

Cheers,

Hi Rowan,

I have a license for QuickPdf. I noticed that when I try to save a file to "C:\Temp" then it works but when to \\OURIP\\Archives\\ it doesn't even it worked recently. What permissions I need to save file with QuickPdf? What can I check now?

Hi igor.o,

You will need at least read/write permissions for the directory you want to save files to. You can try the TestTempPath function to see if the folder you are saving to has the necessary permissions.

Use the SetTempPath to set the directory before calling TestTempPath...

Hi Rowan,

It looks very strange because the both functions (SetTempPath and TestTempPath) return 1. SaveToFile however, called after them returns 0.

Any ideas?

Igor,

This is a simple permissions problem not related to the library. You will need to talk to the administrator of the server to get Read/Write/Create/Update etc access to the directory.
