Bug: opening tiff file?

Post by gpxi »

This is so weird.

I've been testing the PDFXCdemo project under VB6 sample codes. I made some changes in importing an image file. I am using PXC_AddimageExA instead of PXC_AddimageA. My objective is to convert multi-page tiff to multi-page pdf.

Now if I compile the program and put it in the bin directory with all the dlls and everything, the program runs fine. But if I step through the source code in debug mode, I got this error when it is trying to open the tiff file (res = PXC_AddImageExA(pdf, IMG_NAME, p, 0): Error [ImageCore]: Invalid file format. The program points to the same tiff file. The file is valid. All the dlls were copied to the project directory. How could that be? I'm so baffled. There has to be a bug somewhere, right? Please help!!!

Thanks in advance.

Can you please supply the tiff file (zipped) and also advise the version of our dll's being used.

Also please try one of our already compiled examples in the bin folder of your install (you will have to add the dll's and ensure they are in the same folder as the exe) and advise if this also has issues with this file)

Thanks

Why does that matter? I already explained that it worked fine with the compiled versions on the same machine, but not when I ran the source code from within VB.

I am going to forget about this one. Life is too short. You can't beat anything to death.

Thanks anyway.

Its a pretty simple request for the file - is it really that onerous to supply it ?

Anyway - I'll leave it with you - if you wish us to take a look - we will if we have the file.

gpxi,

I know this is an old post but I'm wondering if you could post a sample of your VB6 code that uses the PXC_AddImageExA call and how you handle the pointer to the array of images?

Thanks
