Hello All, We're finally proceeding with an upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5. While testing and working through small fixes, I'm having an issue that I can't find a good work around for. Server setup is:
Windows Server 2003 Witango 5.5 Professional ActivePDF Toolkit We've used the same setup on Windows 2000 and 5.0 for years and all has been fine when working with the ActivePDF Toolkit. The issue is specifically with single quotes and the ActivePDF Toolkit COM Object. Using the <@CALLMETHOD> we call either GetTextWidth or PrintText and pass a variable that contains a single quote and an error will occur. Obviously, I can remove the single quote all together, but I need the character in there. I've tried all sorts of work arounds but nothing accomplishes the goal of having the single quote on the pdf. I can encode the string, but the activepdf doesn't decode it leaving the encoded value on the pdf. Was the COM interface changed in the upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5? Does anyone have any suggestions on a work around? Also, on a related subject, when we pass an empty string to the PrintText method, it displays as 6 questions marks on the pdf. This obviously looks like crap on the pdf. To work around that, I've written a <@IFEMPTY> check im the call and pass a <@CHAR CODE="32"> instead of the empty variable, but it's not feasible to do that with every application that uses the toolkit. Any ideas/help? Thanks, Dave Green ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
