Trouble Integrating PDFXEditorSDK10 with VB6 – Missing DLLs and Methods  SOLVED

Post by stefano.orl »

Hi everyone,

I'm currently evaluating the PDFXEditorSDK10.msi package, and I'm trying to use it within a VB6 (Visual Basic 6) project.
However, I'm running into a problem: I can't seem to access the full set of methods described in the documentation (like CreateCab, OpenDocFromPath, etc.). Specifically, I don’t have access to the PDFXEditAx.dll file, which many online resources mention as necessary for using the SDK with VB6. In my project, I can add the PDFXEditCtl control to a form, but it only exposes limited methods like OpenDocWithDlg. I can’t use any of the advanced SDK features described in the API reference.
Has anyone successfully integrated this SDK in a VB6 environment?
Do I need to install an older version like the PDF-XChange Viewer SDK to get proper ActiveX support?

Any guidance or working examples would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! :D
