Hi Everyone,

I'm interested in seeing what the general consensus is for whether the version number should be included in Debenu Quick PDF Library file and class names. Currently it looks like this for the DLL edition, as an example:

Filename: DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1115.dll

Class name: DebenuPDFLibraryDLL1115.PDFLibrary

Without the version number in there, it would look like this:

Filename: DebenuPDFLibraryDLL.dll

Class name: DebenuPDFLibraryDLL.PDFLibrary

The downside of not having the version number is that you don't immediately know which version you are using, but the upside is that there's less code to update when changing to a newer version.

The LibraryVersionEx function can be called to return the version number of the library but this function will only work if the library is being initialized successfully. If it is not initialized successfully then the only way to check what version you are using is to right-click on the actual file and go to Properties > Details > File version.

Please vote and leave a comment if you have any feedback you'd like to share.

Cheers,

- Rowan.

I like this concept.

But it is needed to add to Commercial and Lite version new function/methode:
.GetLibraryVersion.

.GetLibraryInformation

And this should be accesed even with out using license key.

EDIT:

oops .... I see there is QP.LibraryVersion

and QP.LicenseInfo

But is this function can be used with out setting license key ?

Why they are not provided in Lite version ?

Hi mLipok,

The LibraryVersionEx and LicenseInfo functions should return the information you need. These functions will work even if you don't call UnlockKey function with a trial license key. We would add these to the Lite edition as well.

Cheers,

btw.

I think the same way (as proposed in this thread) of deploying ~~Viewer~~ is now used in Viewer, and it is very handy.

EDIT: Wording

Please add to the Reference Guide for relevant information about it is that the function works without having to provide a license key.

Do You plan also change in Developer Guide pdf file name ?

For example:

from:

Debenu Quick PDF Library 11.13 Reference Guide.pdf

to:

Debenu Quick PDF Library Reference Guide.pdf

I think if we do it we'll probably leave the version number in the function reference filename as there's not a major reason to remove it that I can think of.

Please add to each documentation QPDL (Commercial and Lite) and VIEWER for ActiveX Object such information like:

ClassName

CLSID

IID

this is handy for me to connect to the object without registering in Windows System.

I think this will be handy also for others.

Thanks.

I don't use the activex control. I compile it directly into my application, so it does not matter.

for note only:

I see that in new version there is old naming convention:

DebenuPDFLibraryAX1211.PDFLibrary

DebenuPDFLibrary64AX1211.PDFLibrary
