Hello. I am evaluating the “Text2PDF COM” product and am using Window 7 operating system and developing with Visual Studio 2010. I cannot get past the:
PDF2TXTSetLicenseCode("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
line of code. It give me an error stating that the module cannot be found. I have the DLL located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder and have altered the below declarations to point to it but it still won’t work.
Is this supported on Windows 7? Do you know what I’m missing?
Thanks!

=======================================
Are you using 64bit Windows 7 system? If yes, you should put following DLL files to C:\windows\syswow64 folder,
encryptpdf.dll
pdf2txt.dll
pdfsdk.dll
also, please make sure encryptpdf.dll, pdfsdk.dll and pdf2txt.dll files are exist in same folder, otherwise, you will not able to load pdf2txt.dll library properly.

Hello and thank you for your help. This did get me through the PDF2TXTSetLicenseCode function, but now fails at “SetTXTFormat(1)” with the below error:
A call to PInvoke function 'ConsoleApplication8!ConsoleApplication1.Module1::SetTXTFormat' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.
===========================
Are you compile the project with "AnyCPU" target platform? If yes, please change it to "x86" target platform, then you can call SetTXTFormat() function properly.
You can also replace all "long" data type to "integer" data type, this will solve this problem for you too.

Thanks! My target platform was "x86" but the declarations were still using longs. I changed them to Integer and now it's working. I'll continue my testing.
Thanks again.

Thank you for your information.
