How to stamp unicode characters to PDF pages using pdfstamp.dll from VB6?

hi, when I try to use the examples I get "pdfstamp.dll" not found. i did copy the pdfstamp.dll to the example directory. but still it doesnt work.
also do you have more examples:

I am trying to add text (an address line in hebrew) into a pdf.

Would be nice if i could get an example on how to position the text to a specific position on the pdf (not centered, top, bottom)

I am running windows 10.

Please copy the following DLL files to system32 or syswow64 folder to try again, your application will able to load "pdfstamp.dll" properly,

cimage.dll
imgconv.dll
Interop.PDFStampCom.dll
pdf2any.dll
pdflayerdll.dll
pdfsdk.dll
PdfStamp.dll
PDFStampOcx.dll
pdftoolsdk.dll

You can use PDFStampWriteTextExW() function to place text to anywhere on the PDF pages, for example,

if(!LoadVeryWDll())
    return;

GetModulePath(szPDFFile,"example.pdf");
GetModulePath(szOutFile,"textstamp_unicode_out.pdf");

//Register PDFStamp SDK with your License Key
VeryStampReg ("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");

id = PDFStampOpen(szPDFFile);
if (id > 0)
{
    for(int i = 1; i <= PDFStampGetPageCount(id); i++)
    {
        if(PDFStampEditPage(id,i) == 1)
        {
            long nFont = PDFStampSetFontA(id, "Arial Unicode MS", 0, 12, 1, 39);
            PDFStampSetFillColor(id, 0x000000FF);
            double dbTextLen = PDFStampGetTextWidthExW(
                     id, (unsigned short *)lpData, nLength/2);
            BOOL bRet = PDFStampWriteTextExW(id, 100, 200,
                     (unsigned short *)lpData, nLength/2);
            PDFStampEndPage(id);
        }
    }
    PDFStampClose(id, szOutFile);
}

FreeVeryWDll();

Thanks for the reply.

1. I was able to run a program with pdfstamp.dll (loading ok after putting all dll in system dir)

2. Thanks for the example but i do not have those function declared anywhere:

PDFStampWriteTextExW
PDFStampGetTextWidthExW
GetModulePath

etc,

do you have a VISUAL BASIC demo project with those functions.
Visual Basic 6 (not .net), thanks.
