Hello,
When building the program (from examples provided by pdfcreator): COM Scripts ->VB.Net-> COM_TestForm
(Under Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015)
The header script says: ’ IMPORTANT: Add a reference to the pdfcreator.exe
I added pdfcreator.exe as reference but it’s not working properly, because several definitions erros found. This one is the fisrt one, I copied here as an example: Error BC30002 Type ‘pdfforge.PDFCreator.COM.Queue’ is not defined. COM_TestForm C:\Users …\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\COM_TestForm_v2.4.1\COM_TestForm\Form1.vb 21 Active
I added as reference all exe and dll files found in instalation folder, but error persists.
I think 2 things were changed here, since 2.4.0 you need to reference PDFCreator.COM.dll instead of the PDFCreator.exe. The other change seems to be undocumented but you nee to replace pdfforge.PDFCreator.COM.Queue with pdfforge.PDFCreator.UI.COM; afterwards everything should work again.
Sorry for the trouble.
I have solved the compilation errors thanks to your advices (I've installed PDFCreator 2.5). But now, I have another trouble. When I am going to run the dll (under Autocad) I get this error message:
Unhandled exception in an application component.
