THIS EXTENSION IS NOT SUPPORTED AT ALL!

This VDSPDF extension control allows you to display PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format) files within on your VDS dialogs.

As you probably know most of Windows systems have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. VDSPDF takes advantage of this by using the readers engine.

You need Adobe Acrobat Reader v4.x or better to use VDSPDF.DLL

Here's some of the commands/functions:
PDF GOTOPREVIOUSPAGE{, <control name>}

PDF GOTONEXTPAGE, <control name>

PDF GOTOLASTPAGE, <control name>

PDF OPEN, <control name>,<filename>,

PDF GOTOFIRSTPAGE, <control name>

PDF GOBACKWARDSTACK, <control name>

PDF GOFORWARDSTACK, <control name>

PDF PRINT, <control name>

@PDF(TOOLBAROFF, <control name>)

This will remove the Acrobat Reader toolbar.

@PDF(TOOLBARON, <control name>)

This will enable the Acrobat Reader toolbar.

And theres more...

Also included with VDSPDF is a third party application I found that enables you to produce a PDF document with any regular text files! Its called PDF PRODUCER and its a Freeware. I DO NOT SUPPORT PDF PRODUCER. Its included in the zip file of the VDSPDF package.

Donations are accepted!

Donation amounts:
Donation of only $4.99US thru Reg.net secure site -> https://secure.reg.net/product.asp?ID=13550
Donation of only $9.99US thru Reg.net secure site. -> https://secure.reg.net/product.asp?ID=13252
Donation of only $14.99US thru Reg.net secure site. -> https://secure.reg.net/product.asp?ID=13552
Donation of only $19.99US thru Reg.net secure site - > https://secure.reg.net/product.asp?ID=13553

Serial is in the vdspdf.HTM

Here's the link to download the VDSPDF extension:

I realy would whant to use this extension, but i can't make any use of any function !
I always get an error saying function from .dll extension doesn't exist !
The dll is in the same directory as the sample, but doesn't work !
The path is this:
[url]
D:\Program Files\Visual DialogScript 5\Extensions\VDS_PDF\VDS 5 Example\vdspdf.dsp
[/url]

the dll is in the same place.

Any help ?
Thank's

Dominique

Hi Dominique, first of all welcome at the VDSWORLD forums... Smile For your question: when trying to load a DLL, VDS always first looks at the current "path" from which it is started. You can change this path by doing the following:

Code:
directory change,@path(%0)


This basicly returns the path of the filename specified in the variabel %0 (which is the full path+name of your exe file) and changes the current directory in which VDS is look with it. After this, you should be able to load the DLL with the external command. Another solution is by specifying the whole path+name of the DLL:

Code:
external @path(%0)dllname.dll


This does NOT change the path, so you can use this if the current path from which VDS is loaded, should stay intact... Smile

hello, thank's for answering.

The sample i try to use is the one delivered with the extension mentionned upper in the thread.
So i thought it could run as is ? The second way you tell me is used in the example, so it should work ?
Does the v5 of dialogscript accept the calling of an extension dll's function like it is done:
external @path(%0)VDSPDF.DLL
PDF GOTOPREVIOUSPAGE{, <control name>}

The path to the sample is this:
[url]
D:\Program Files\Visual DialogScript 5\Extensions\VDS_PDF\VDS 5 Example\vdspdf.dsp
[/url]

the dll is in the same place.

So, i don't understand !
In fact i remember that i can't use any extension at all !
Is there any spécial config to put to be able to ?

Thank's for help.
Dominique

Don't forget to define the command and function for the dll you are using.

Code:
#DEFINE COMMAND,PDF
#DEFINE FUNCTION,PDF

Thank's,
i understand now why it didn't work !
I thought it was different for extension dll, as i think they are different from standard windows dll ?
So, Marty could you correct the v5 release sample, to make it work.
Cause i don't know the correct param's type to declare for each functions of your dll ?
Thank's

I am sorry, like it says in bold on top of this thread, I dont do any support for any of my extensions anymore, and thats why I offered them for free (donationware). I dont have time anymore to support or start changing the demos or DLL itself.

Also as Garrett said:

Please look at the help file, that might help you.
