Checkbox are rendered as bullet points in Excel

Post by BWCDawg »

I am using the Amyuni 3.01 converter in a C# .NET application. When printing from Excel all the checkboxes in the document are rendered as bullet points. I also own another 3rd party application that uses an Amyuni driver (version 2.5 I believe). This other application will render the checkboxes correctly. Is there a problem with the 3.01 drivers and rendering Excel checkboxes?

Hello,

Please use Postscript simulation when generating your document, if this didn't help please try version 3.03 that is currently online.

I am using the free trial at the moment while my company evaluates different conversion products.

I was originally using the .NET port (cdintfNET300.dll). It has a method called SetSimPostscript(bool) to set the postScript method. I set this to true and it did not solve the problem. The documentation indicates that there is no method to set postscript in the .net port, so I thought it was possible this method wasn't fully implemented. I then converted my project to the DLL (cdintfEX.dll) and used the SimPostScript property. Still no luck. This leaves me with 2 questions.

1. Is there a way I can evaluate the 3.03 drivers? Everything about the Amyuni driver is better than the competition, but this issue could be a show-stopper for my customer.
2. Is there updated documentation for the .net port? If possible I would rather use those libraries, but sometimes the docs will say a method doesn't exist and then I'll find a method with a similar name to the COM library. I can't be sure if its implemented, or just a stub in.

Thanks.

Hello,

You can definitely try the 3.03 version. You just have to downlaod a new demo from our site.

I suggest that you sent your sample file to our technical support support@amyuni.com to try converting it to PDF and see the output.

Hope this helps.
