URGENT: cdintf400.zip missing from downloads area

The v4 driver documentation includes a link to http://www.amyuni.com/downloads/cdintf400.zip but it doesn't work and I need this archive as I want to use the DLL interface.

Creating PDF/A documents

We are using Amyuni v3.0.3.0 and want to offer our users the option to create PDF/A documents. We create PDFs using a printer driver but I cannot see any suitable PDF/A flags in Cdintf300.h to enable support for this via a call to SetDocFileProps or by using magic DEVMODE flags. Any advice would be ...

Re: When is it safe to unlock?

I should of read the manual! You only need to call Unlock if an error occurs printing.

When is it safe to unlock?

We are using PDF Converter v3.03 via cdintf.dll in a multi-threaded application and have always used the lpszOutput member of DOCINFO to specify the PDF filename. This has always worked but we are now experimenting with Windows Server 2003 64 and this method doesn't seem to work. Instead we want to ...

DEVMODE flags

Is there a definitive list of DEVMODE flags supported by Amyuni v3? The Technical Note includes a few, but there are definitely others available (I did have an email from support containing some extra flags, but this has been lost). I know about the following DEVMODE flags: FLAT_COMPRESSION = 0x0000...

Converting Hyperlinks

I have been experimenting with the ConvertHyperlinks flag via a call to SetFileNameOptions before creating my PDF (from a C++ app), and I am not seeing any difference in the resulting PDFs - I *can* click on the hyperlinks in Acrobat Reader to open a browser window, but the links are not coloured/un...

I have done more tests and there is definitely a problem with line thickness using the Amyuni driver. I generated a PDF that contains boxes drawn with line thickness's of various point sizes, and thin lines (less than 1pt) all look the same. Similarly, a 1.5pt line looks the same as a 2pt. This woul...

Line thickness/metafiles

We are using v3.0.1.1 and have a problem with line thickness when drawing metafiles. We have a 3rd party barcode toolkit, that generates a metafile which is then drawn on the DC using PlayMetaFile. We have been using this toolkit for a long time with no problems. However, when generating a PDF, the ...

I had a similar crash today when testing v3 for the first time. I'd used it to generate a few hundred PDFs and then the spooler service suddenly crashed. Nothing in the event log for me though.

OK, I finally got to the bottom of this - the Amyuni driver was creating lots of GDI handles and eventually all handles were exhausted. I have now implemented some locking code to limit the number of threads that can access the driver, and this seems to have fixed the problem. So the Amyuni driver i...

Just tried v3 and it's the same - I still get errors when lots of threads try to access the driver at the same time.

FWIW I am using standard Windows printing API calls to create PDFs. The PDF filename is set via DOCINFO, and there are no calls to SetDefaultFileName or SetDefaultDirectory. Hence I assume there shouldn't be any need to call any special locking functions.

StartDoc error 87 with multiple threads

Amyuni v2.50g I have an application that uses multiple threads to create PDF files using the Amyuni driver. However, if I attempt to create lots of files simultaneously (by having multiple threads access the Amyuni driver at the same time) I am occasionally having ::StartDoc fail with GetLastError r...
