PDF export, 3.60 R4

[rlizak]

When writing a PDF file out using C# under Visual Studio 2005 and VPE 3.60R4, the resulting PDF file displays and prints fine via Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Professional, however, when attempting to Save As the file in Acrobat Professional, Acrobat throws a dialog that reads "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (135)." holding the CTRL key when clicking OK, yields the next message "Dictionary keys must be direct name objects.". When creating the PDF via VPE, there is no protection being added to the file, just a plain simple OpenDoc()... Write() and Line() stuff finally a WriteDoc() and CloseDoc(). Are there any known issues in creating a PDF via VPE that can be saved out using Acrobat Professional? (fails under both v6 and v7). Is there any magic under C# that needs to be applied to ensure a good PDF file gets written?

Thanks,

We never tried this and the problem has never been reported. Technically, the problem can not be related to C#.

However, we tested it right now with VPE v4.0 and there is no such problem. The PDF Export Module of VPE v4.0 has been reworked in many aspects. We ran the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Preflight check and it reports the files created by VPE v4.0 as 100% correct.

I recommend you update to VPE v4.0.
