Dash line problem in PCL to PDF Converter

2011/07/21

I am writing to enquire about “PCL Converter”.

We have a process within our ERP, which generates a PCL file and sends it to the printer.

We would like to read this PCL file and turn it into a PDF file.

One of the prerequisites is that this should be done automatically, without user intervention, using the command line.

We would like to evaluate the tool "PCL Converter" and know the cost of the tool.

================================

Thanks for your message, our PCL Converter is USD125 per license, you can download and purchase it from our website directly,

https://www.verypdf.com/pcltools/index.html#dl

VeryPDF

================================

Would like to know if we could install this version on our server, that will be used by ERP !

================================

USD125 price is the end user license, it can't be used on a server, if you wish use it on your server, you need purchase server license, the cost of PCL Converter Server License is USD795 per srever, you can purchase it from our website directly,

https://www.verypdf.com/pcltools/index.html#dl

VeryPDF

================================

Thanks for reply.

We find a problem, using your solution.

Please, see the image bellow; the vertical lines highlighted in red, should be continuous and not dashed.

When we send the same PCL file to the printer, the document is generated correctly.

================================

Sorry, i was on vacation, returned today.

We don’t have Order ID, because I have not bought the product.

I am sending a PCL file sample for your review.

================================

We can see dash lines in your PCL file too, please refer to following screenshot, can you double check the lines in your PCL file carefully?

VeryPDF

================================

We cannot identify the error, because when we send the PCL to the printer, the document is printed correctly.

Dashed vertical lines in the printout, are normal (not hatched).

Only when using the PCL to PDF converter is that vertical lines are dashed.

================================

Maybe your printer has a special font to render the dash lines, our PCL Converter does use Windows font to render the dash lines, so it will show them as dash lines, this is normal.

However, we will reseach this problem continue, we will let you know as soon as we have any finding on this problem, thanks for your patience.

VeryPDF

By the way, you could send a formal business proposal for us, to send our CEO, to approve the purchase of software ?

pdf to image converter

PDF To Image Converter COM Developer License

2011/07/212011/07/22

Our company has purchased a Developer License for PDF To Image Converter (COM).

Here are answers to questionnaire from your Web site:

* Product's name.

PDF To Image Converter (COM), Developer License

* Product's version number.

2.1.0.1 was current (within the pdf2image.dll)

* Your Operating System (Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2000, WinNT, WinXP, Vista, 2008, Win7, 32bit or 64bit).

Win 7, both x86 and x64

* If you have purchased the software, please contain your Order ID: XXXXXXXXXXX

* Please provide a detailed description of the problem you are experiencing, including all steps required to reproduce the problem (this will greatly expedite your support request).

Please see below

* If your support request has attachments, please email your support request with all attachments to us, any information you submit to us will of course be kept strictly confidential.

No attachments

Question 1: is the license limited by certain version? If so, what is the most recent version for the license we have?

At the moment of purchase, the version of 2.1.0.1 was current (pdf2image.dll). We have never updated it because it worked perfectly.

Currently we are developing an x64 version of our software. Since version 2.1.0.1 did not have x64 component, I have updated version 2.7.0.0 from your Web site.

Apparently, our license did not work. The Converter places watermark on all documents.

Question 2: Can I use the COM wrapper if the application is compiled for AnyCPU platform?

Our application is C# application (.NET Framework 3.5), compiled for AnyCPU platform. When I simply followed your samples regarding placing reference to COM class, everything works fine on x64 platform, but the code:

Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("PDF2Image.CPDF2Image"))

throws an error 0x8007000B on x86 platform.

Temporarily I have added a simple detection of x86/x64 platform and keep two parts of the code: on x86 it uses old-style DllImport methods of pdf2image.dll, while on x64 it uses COM wrapper. It seems to work, except the watermark problem. I’m wondering how I could remove the old code. Please advice.

Thank you for your help.

====================================================

Yes, the license is limited by certain version, the latest version of PDF2Image SDK is v2.6.0.1.

The latest version of PDF2Image SDK is support x64 system, the upgrade cost is 50% of purchase price, if you wish upgrade to latest version, please email to us your original Order ID, we will send the upgrade web page to you shortly.

Yes, with latest version of PDF2Image SDK product, you can compile your application with AnyCPU platform.

VeryPDF
====================================================

Thank you for the prompt answer.

Let me clarify, does the version 2.6.0.1 contain x64 COM wrapper?

If it does, there is no need to upgrade further; the functionality of the older version is quite enough.

In this case, would you please provide me with version 2.6.0.1? I found the Emetrix Order ID for proof of identity.

In case if version 2.6.0.1 does not yet have x64 support, I will have to do some re-evaluation before ordering an upgrade to v.2.7.0.0.

================================

Sorry for my mistake, I have checked with our engineer just now, the latest version is v2.7.0.0, but not the v2.6.0.1.

V2.7 is support x64 COM wrapper.

You can download the latest version of PDF2Image SDK from following URL,

http://www.globalpdf.com/pdf2tif/pdf2image_sdk_trial.zip

latest version of PDF2Image SDK does contain the 64bit COM interface, please refer to following web page for more information,

We got some problem with PDF2XML

2011/07/212011/07/24

We found some problem with your product, PDF2XML.

1. In PDF2XML, tag <Transform> doesn't create and transfer speed is too slow.

Reference to "Casanova.pdf" that we attached and the output file of that, "Page2.xml"

2. After executing PDFToImageConverter function in PDF2Image API, sometime specific pdf file could not read or some of characters are missing from image file.

2-1. If we use "PDFToImageConverter2" function, the images are created well.

But if the parameters of the function, "firstPage" is same to "lastPage", PDFToImageSetFileNameSuffix() function is NOT working.

2-2. We need some information related "PDFToImageConverter" function.

What's the difference between "PDFToImageConverter", "PDFToImageConverter2" and "PDFToImageConverterEx"?

Please explain the differences.

We are waiting for your answer. Please reply as soon as possible.

Have a nice day!

===============================

I'm remember we have removed the tag <Transform> from output XML file, because the values of tag <Transform> has been combined into real X and Y coordinates, you can get real X and Y coordinates from XML directly, so you needn't calculate X, Y coordinates by Transform matrix again, this will save your workload.

Yes, this is caused by design, if "firstPage" is same to "lastPage", PDF2Image SDK will consider this is a single image file, so it will not add suffix to the output file name, it will simple ignore the value which set by PDFToImageSetFileNameSuffix() function.

"PDFToImageConverter" function and "PDFToImageConverter2" functions are two different render methods to render the PDF page, "PDFToImageConverter" function is using Windows GDI functions to render the PDF page to image file, "PDFToImageConverter2" function is using ourself's render engine to instead of Windows GDI functions, we have implement DrawLine, DrawRectange, FillColor, DrawImage, DrawText, etc. functions to instead of Windows GDI functions in "PDFToImageConverter2" function.

"PDFToImageConverterEx" function is based on "PDFToImageConverter" function, but "PDFToImageConverterEx" can convert PDF page to image file with specify width and height values.

VeryPDF

===============================

Thank you for your answer.

You told me you have already remove the tag <Transform>. But the tag <Transform> sometimes shows and sometimes doesn't.

That's why I asked the question.

If it is something wrong, I think the version of "PDF2XML.dll" is different to yours.

So could you offer your the latest version of "PDF2XML.dll" for us?

The file size of "PDF2XML.dll" which we got is 2.74MB (2,879,488 byte).

I'll waiting for your answer.

Have a good day!

===============================

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to you, I have checked with our engineer just now, he told me that <Transform> is come from "cm" command in the PDF file, if your PDF file contains "cm", PDF2XML SDK will output <Transform> to output XML file, if your PDF file is not contain "cm" command, the output PDF file will not contain <Transform>.

Thanks for your message, you can always download the latest version of PDF2XML SDK from following URL,

http://www.verydoc.com/pdf2xmlsdk.zip

VeryPDF

===============================
Hi,

I think you remember I request your the latest "PDF2XML.DLL".
So you gave to me the following URL.

http://www.verydoc.com/pdf2xmlsdk.zip

When we use previous version, we can get unicodes of Korea letters.
But if we use the latest version you gave to us, we can not get them.

So I wonder the latest version is adopted something related unicode of Korean letter.
Please answer me about this question as soon as possible.
================================

Thanks for your message, you can simple compare the date of two "PDF2XML.DLL" files, if your "PDF2XML.DLL" date is newer than http://www.verydoc.com/pdf2xmlsdk.zip, you can use your "PDF2XML.DLL" file always, because we are not update the PDF2XML SDK frequently.

Thank you!

=============================================

Do you have administrator privilege to the CMD window? If not, please launch a CMD window by administrator privilege, and run htmltools.exe in this CMD window to try again, we hoping administrator privilege will help you to solve this problem.

You can also add -debug parameter to the htmltools.exe application, -debug parameter will print detailed log message to console, the log message will helpful for you to find out where is wrong quickly,

htmltools.exe -debug C:\in.html C:\out.pdf

VeryPDF

=============================================

That was a very good hint. So I have seen, that my PC could not access to the program directory. All files were write protected. I have changed this. Now I can use the program.

Thank you very much!
