    Getting Started Guide for Foxit Quick PDF Library (ActiveX Edition)

    Foxit Quick PDF Library

    Installation

    After running the installer the DebenuPDFLibraryAX1411.dll and DebenuPDFLibrary64AX1411.dll files will be placed into the ActiveX folder, inside the main installation folder you chose during installation.

    The default installation folder is C:\Program Files\Debenu\PDF Library\ActiveX\

    Registering the 32-bit ActiveX DLL

    Use the regsvr32 command to register Quick PDF Library ActiveX Edition. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and enter the command:

    regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Debenu\PDF Library\ActiveX\DebenuPDFLibraryAX1411.dll”
    Replace the path in the above command with the folder you chose during installation.

    For 64-bit Windows, the regsvr32.exe in %systemroot%\SysWOW64\ should be used.

    Registering the 64-bit ActiveX DLL

    Use the regsvr32 command to register Quick PDF Library ActiveX Edition. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and enter the command:

    regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Debenu\PDF Library\DebenuPDFLibrary64AX1411.dll”

    Replace the path in the above command with the folder you chose during installation.

    Class name

    The class name of this release of Quick PDF Library ActiveX Edition is: DebenuPDFLibraryAX1411.PDFLibrary

    The class name of this release of Quick PDF Library 64-bit ActiveX Edition is: DebenuPDFLibrary64AX1411.PDFLibrary

    Instantiating the class

    Use the CreateObject or equivalent function in your development environment to create the Quick PDF Library object.

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim PDFLibrary As DebenuPDFLibraryAX1411.PDFLibrary
Set PDFLibrary = CreateObject(“DebenuPDFLibraryAX1411.PDFLibrary”)
If PDFLibrary.UnlockKey(“your license key here”) = 1 Then
Call PDFLibrary.DrawText(100, 500, “Hello from Visual Basic”)
Call PDFLibrary.SaveToFile(“C:\Docs\HelloFromVB.pdf”)
End If
Set PDFLibrary = Nothing
End Sub

    Unregistering the ActiveX DLL

    Use the regsvr32 /u command to unregister Quick PDF Library ActiveX Edition if necessary.
