Hi Lynda,

I'm glad my example on the FoxPro Wiki was useful for you. There are several files besides cdintf.dll that you need to distribute with your application. These should be listed in the 'Common Driver Interface' documentation you received with the professional version. It's a long document but you don't have to read the whole thing, just look for the section near the front entitled "Using the developer version of the Document Converter Products" or something like that, which is a concise summary of the steps you need to follow to distribute the product with your application.

It's been a long time since I used the 2.0 version and I no longer have the documentation for that version myself, but I believe you'll find a list of distributable files such as acfpdf.dll, etc. These can go in your application's install directory and do not need to be registered.

How you initialize the driver in your app at runtime depends on whether you permanently installed the PDF Converter on the user's machine using Amyuni's install.exe (which, if you take this approach, is typically done as part of your application's installer) or whether you create the printer on the fly each time your application runs. The differences are also discussed in the Common Driver Interface document.

>I have developed an app using the professional version of Amyuni PDF Converter 2.06 and need some help with the installation and distribution process. The app works perfectly when I call “Amyuni PDF Converter”, the name used to install the full version. But when I try to call PDFPrinterInit() with an application-specific name as the Developer's Manual strongly suggests, I get an OLE Exception, even though the cdintf.dll has been registered. The code I am using is taken from Rick Borup’s example at http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~UsingAmyuniPDFConverterWithVFP. Thanks to Rick for providing the sample.
