[Solved] PDF creator version 3.0 and Win 98

Krystyna · Post by **Krystyna** » Wed Apr 25 2007

My program is written in VB6.
I've changed a reference to Common Driver Interface
in my program to point to cdintf300.dll
and changed my licence key to a new value.
I've made all necessary changes in the setup to install
new 3.0 driver on users computer.

Successfuly installed and run on Win 2000, Win XP SP2, Win XP x64.
Problem on Win 98:
1. Properties for my PDF printer report:
Amyuni Document Converter 3.00
2. acfpdf.drv file version is 2.51.4
3. My program errors out:
Error #429: ActiveX component can't create object

What's wrong?

Even though the docs say that the Amyuni Document Converter v3 works in Win9x, it doesn't!

Using the CDIntf300.dll staticly linked to our app, we receive the following error, when starting our app on Win9x: "the gdi32.dll doesn't export the function GetGlyphIndicesW".

Obviously GetGlyphIndicesW ist unsupported under Windows 9x and used in CDIntf300.dll!?

Also register the activex component will fail due to this reason!

Unfortunatly no response from support on this issue since more than two weeks!

Any suggestions?

Ciao

We have upgraded customers to v3 PDF Converter Develeper and forced to downgrade after many complaints about APPS don't working in W98 systems.

We reported that to Amyuni Support Team 45 days ago and were answered that was a knowed issue and working on it but till now no news about

Please, any news or info about?

Thanks and Best Regards

Currently i am testing a build that contains the fix, i will let you know as soon as it gets published.

Hello,

We are preparing a new version of CDIntf300.dll that will be ready tomorrow.
Flavio you will receive the new version by email from our support team

Initially there were two problems with Windows 98, the PDF Creator wasn't running under 98 and the function GetGlyphIndicesW couldn't be loaded because it doesn't exist under 98. These issues were solved however a new function was added recently to CDIntf and it is not available under 98.

Windows 98 is a 10 years old operating system, most customers have already upgraded to Windows XP so most of our testing is done on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista.... This is why some problems would slip under 98.

I hope I will receive also the updated release from support team...

I'm happy that looks like a generalized problem and many people have still to fight with W98 and should be solved because this post has almost 3000 visits now.

Hi,
I downloaded new amyuni driver : cdintf.dll with version 3.0.1.1.
But under Win98, my application don't start because Windows say
"CDINTF wrong file".

I look with Depends (a VisualC++ tool) the cdintf.dll and I see that
it depends from WinSpool.Drv (ok), but it require the missing
function SetPrinterDataEx, not implemented in Win9x ...

Moreover it is true that Win9x is really obsolete sysop, but
I have still many customers with this sysop (Win98 or WinME):
I upgrade to Amyuni 3.0 with no gratis release, and you sell 3.0
as Win9x compatible :
"Version 3.0 Professional"
For Windows 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP/2003 32-bits, XP/2003 64-bits, Vista

I must return to old Amyuni 2.50f while I pay the 3.0 release ...

Thank's

Hello,

In general we prefer not to send fixes unless these are released officially but as the 98 issue is becoming more than urgent. We will send patches to all the persons in this thread today.

It is strange that the longest thread in this forum and the one containing mostly complaints is about Windows 98.

Regards.

The new cdintf.dll that reports version 3.02 has still the same problem reported some post before. It refers to SetPrinterDataExA in winspool.drv that is not available on windows 98.
