01-24-2006, 13:52 linzack Joined on 01-24-2006 Posts 1 Another "PDF Capability is Required" error... Running 14.5, I am attempting to load a PDF file - resulting in error message "PDF Capability is Required".  Reading through previous postings, I have confirmed that the PdfDll32.dll exists within the winsys32 folder, and am loading references to Leadtools.pdf and Leadtools.Codecs.Pdf - C# on XP pro. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.    Report

To solve this problem please download the PDF plug-in: http://www.leadtools.com/releasedownloads/v15/LEADTOOLSPDFRuntime.exe then please read this topic " Implementing PDF Plug in Features" in the help file specially the last paragraph " Distributing an application built using the PDF Module" and Setup the registry configuration as the help topic. For any licensing questions, please contact sales@LEADTOOLS.com as PDF functionality requires a development and distribution license.    Report

If you want to load PDF files in your application, you need to unlock PDF features in your application using the Unlock method. If you are using the LEADTOOLS .NET programming interface, you need to use the RasterSupport.Unlock() method. Adnan Ismail LEADTOOLS Technical Support    Report

I am running my application and I keep getting an error along the lines of "cannot find the pdf runtime files". In the deployment instructions you talk about getting the files from: Redist\Pdf\Fonts and so on for the other folders. I look in my Leadtools15 folder inside the redist folder, but i don't have a pdf subdirectory. Eventually I find the place where the runtime files are on my computer which is in bin\common\pdf and I put those files on the other computer for deoployment, doesn't work. If you could direct me in where I'm going wrong so I can get this deployed that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks John    Report

Please see: http://www.leadtools.com/Help/LEADTOOLS/v15/Main/API/default.htm#DLLSTEPS/Implementing_PDF_Plug_in_Features.htm This help topic mentions that the PDF engine files are found in Bin\Common\Pdf. Before you use any LEADTOOLS PDF loading functions, you must specify the location of the PDF engine. If you're using the DLL API, do this using the L_SetPDFInitDir function. If you're using .NET, set the path using the RasterCodecs.Options.Pdf.InitialPath Property.    Report

I specified the path in code as you mentioned as shown below: mstrPDFRuntimeFiles = "C:\PDFRuntimeFiles\Lib;C:\PDFRuntimeFiles\Fonts;C:\PDFRuntimeFiles\Resource" 'mstrPDFRuntimeFiles = "C:\PDFRuntimeFiles\" codecs.Options.Pdf.InitialPath = mstrPDFRuntimeFiles Either way I have tried i get the "PDF Error - Either the files required for initializing the PDF engine were not found or they were found but incorrect" I did put a msgbox to check and make sure the pdf engine is installed and that gave a true response. I'm not sure what exactly I'm doing wrong. Also I must have an old version of the documentation of the shipped documentation is slightly different than the online documenation as mine had the redist part in it. See attached.    Report

If yes, then this means that the PDF engine files are properly installed on your computer. Do you have a PDF runtime license and unlock key for the PDF plug-in? If not, then please send an email to sales@leadtools.com to inquire about them. If you already have one, then please put your code in a working project (not your full application), then pack your project in a ZIP or RAR file and post it here. If you don't want to post here, please send it to support@leadtools.com and mention this forum post. Also, please download the latest PDF engine from our site and send your LEADTOOLS serial number(s) in an email message to support@leadtools.com and ask for the latest DLL patches.    Report

Second Question: Yes I have unlock keys for Annotations,PDF Read and Write Third Question: Just sent a zip of the two projects I have been testing to the support email. Fourth Question: I have my unlock keys in the code, those are the serials right. If you could send me the updated dlls that would be great. Thanks John    Report
