Need help rebuilding PurePDF for PB3.93

[tOnGAs]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build the PurePDF library from source to make it work with PB3.93. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with the way Userlibs work and wasn't able to make it work (even by using Tailbite).

Could somebody help me please ?

The PurePDF library can be found at : http://smollies.fateback.com/
The sources are included in the Examples/purepdf/Source/ directory.

I already PM'ed the author (LuckyLuke) but no sign of him.

Hi tOnGAs,

heres the lift you need :

1. Get TAILBITE from http://inicia.es/de/elchoni/TailBite/
2. You have the source code of PurePDF and changed the following in PDF.PB

Code: Select all

    testw.f=pdf_GetStringWidth(".")
    nb = w / testw;

3. Compile everything with TBManager.exe (when getting errors you forgot to delete the old libs and .res files)

• pdfres.pb
  memres.pb
  mem.pb
  pdf.pb

4. finished

PS : in 3. i forget the right order is essential

It actually worked and all the examples do compile ok.
Thank you for your help.

It would be nice, if someone can provide me a v3.93 compatible version of this lib to update the PurePDF archive on PureArea.net

Please use me email: andre at purebasic . com

Thanks !

Hello,

I could send my results, but it won't be packaged and there would be no installer available. Anyway, if you're interested, feel free to PM me.

It would be best if we contact the original author. Anybody knowing him by any chance ?

I've written a mail to Luk this evening, also directing him to this thread.

I will inform you, when I got a reply.

I found an annoying bug :

when you use pdf_SetFooter(@MyFooterFunc()) and pdf_AliasNbPages()
you have to use the keyword {nb} in order to print the number of page.
Ok it works well.
But if you need to print in the body of the document this keyword the MyFooterFunc() procedure crash violently.

Code: Select all

; please, run it with debugger on.

Procedure MyFunc()
  pdf_SetY(-10)
  pdf_SetFont("Arial","B",8)
  pdf_Cell(0,4,Str(pdf_PageNo())+"/{nb}",0,1,"C")
EndProcedure

file.s = "c:\tmppdf.pdf"

pdf_Open()
pdf_SetFooter(@MyFunc())
pdf_AliasNbPages()
pdf_AddPage()
pdf_SetFont("Arial","BUI",8)
pdf_Write(4,"http://www.test.com/{nb}/index.html")  ; <-- Invalid memory access caused by the {nb}
pdf_Close()
pdf_Save(file)
RunProgram(file,"","")
