Hi,
I have a developer license for ps2pdf and am trying to follow the instructions on
https://www.verypdf.com/wordpress/201301/how-to-use-ps2pdfsdk-from-64bit-c-application-34100.html
for how to use the ps2pdfsdk through COM in C# .NET. I have succeeded in registering in COM and getting a reference to ps2pdfcom in my application, but from there I am not sure how to make the actual call to VeryPDF_PSToPDF. The instructions in that link seem more geared towards C or Javascript. Can you provide specific instructions for invoking it in C#? The C# example provided in the zip only shows how it works for PInvoke with the 32 bit ps2pdfsdk.dll, which is not what I need. This is for a critical customer-specific application that we need to get working asap.
Thanks,
Customer

System.Type VeryPDFType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("ps2pdfcom.ps2pdf");
ps2pdfcom.ps2pdf VeryPDFCom = (ps2pdfcom.ps2pdf)System.Activator.CreateInstance(VeryPDFType);
VeryPDFCom.com_VeryPDF_PSToPDF(strCmd);
MessageBox.Show("Converter finished.");

}
If you need an entire C# project, please feel free contact us, we will send the entire project to you asap.
The following is a simple VBScript source code to call "ps2pdfcom.ps2pdf", you can save it to a "test.vbs" file and run it to convert PS to PDF file easily,
--------------------------------------------------------------
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = fso.GetParentFolderName(wscript.ScriptFullName)
strInFile = strFolder & "\test.ps"
strOutFile = strFolder & "\test_vbs.pdf"
strCmd = "ps2pdf -$ XXXXXXXXXXXXX " & strInFile & " " & strOutFile
Set ps2pdfcom = CreateObject("ps2pdfcom.ps2pdf")
ps2pdfcom.com_VeryPDF_PSToPDF strCmd

Hi,
One other question. I am trying to package together an install for ps2pdfcom and wanted to know which files are needed in order to run ps2pdfcom on a particular machine? Is it just the following:
install.bat
ps2pdfcom.exe
ps2pdfsdk.dll
Or are other ones from the ps2pdfsdk\bin folder needed as well? Such as ps2pdfsdk.lib? I would like to not have to include the entire bi folder, as it is rather large.
Thanks,
Customer

You need distribute following files along with your product,
pdf2any.dll
pdfsdk.dll
pdftools.dll
ps2pdf.dll
ps2pdfsdk.dll
ps2pdf_x64.dll
ps2pdf_x86.dll
winfont.map
encoding\*.*
You can simple ignore any other files except above.
