I get the following error when ever I try to run the following line of code:-
Set pdfjob = CreateObject("PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator")
I using a 64 bit computer.

I am tasked with supporting some legacy applications in VB6. One of these applications uses PDFCreator from pdfForge. Sadly, the latest version of PDFCreator, which I would like to use does not appear to play well with VB6. Before PDFCreator 2.0, I had previously got code to work by adding a reference to the project to PDFCreator.exe. I could then instantiate a PDFCreator object thusly->
Set pdfjob = New clsPDFCreator
or in older parts of the codebase I see…
Set pdfjob = New PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator
Neither of these work any longer with PDFCreator 2.0, I either get an unknown user defined type or an error 429 at runtime.
They now ship a type library which I can set a reference to, but if I do that, I get “unknown user defined type”. If I try to reference PDFCreator.exe the VB6 IDE just throws up immediately and says it cannot do it. In previous versions of PDFCreator they did ship with some COM examples that worked fine, but the new COM example is only in .JS and references PDFCreatorBeta.PDFCreator(which incidentally did not work either)
Has anyone gotten PDFCreator 2.0 to work with VB6 and if so how? VB6 code example please.
thanks,
