QuickPDF Lib 7.xx ???

[swan]

Quite some time ago I purchased iSEDQuickPDF lib mainly for printing PDF docs from my apps.
Since then the lib has been bought out and is now QuickPDF lib version 7.xx. They have an upgrade policy for previous owners (still not cheap though). And they've dropped their support for PB (samples, etc).

Has anyone done the deed and upgraded ? Is it worth is ? And is there a PB wrapper for this new version ?

Thanx ...

Am I right in that QuickPDF supports unicode fonts?

If so, yes might be worth a look indeed. I'd be tempted to use it in it's ActiveX control form.

Yes, they list full unicode support.

Yes, but later on they refer to the unicode as being support for unicoded filenames rather than fonts. I'll have to poke around the forums to be sure I reckon.

Hi Swan,

I spoke to the developers of QuickPDFLibrary and I cannot use this product for my intended purposes as it invalidates their license. This leaves me with but one option - write my own pdf library which is on the mountain which is the srod to-do list!

That's a pity.
I'll be updating to the latest version just so I can work with the latest versions of pdf files.
Cheers ...
