CSharp: Update to PDFXEDITORSDKPRO11

[SHartmann]

I failed to update from PDFEXeditorSDK10 to PDFEXeditorSDK11.
None of the .net samples works.

So I deinstalled everything, rebooted and reinstalled it.

I noticed some changes:

Installation now is in C:\Program Files (x86)\PDF-XChange instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Tracker..


The DLL-Name has changed to PXCEditorCore.x64.dll instead of PDFXEditCore.x64.dll

none of them is reflected in the weblink (https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/Main_Page) in installationfolder.

The .net csharp FullDemo sample still don't work.

Error: System.InvalidCastException: 'Die angegebene Umwandlung ist ungültig.'

at MainFrm.cs line 541:
pxcInst = (PDFXEdit.IPXC_Inst)pdfCtl.Inst.GetExtension("PXC");

during build I get a

I noticed the manifest files in RegistrationFree folder also still mention wrong filenames

   name="PDFXEditCore.x86.X"
   version="1.0.0.0" />

<file name = "PDFXEditCore.x86.dll">

Did I miss something that has changed ?

Hi Stephan,

Yes, there were some changes when moving from V10 to V11. The path and executable changes are detailed here:

https://downloads.pdf-xchange.com/PathChanges.pdf

In addition to those, the following changes were made:

PDFXEdit.exe -> PXCEditor.exe
PDFXTools.exe -> PXCTools.exe
PDFXLocalizer.exe -> PXCLocalizer.exe

=== SDKs ===

Editor SDK:
PDFXEditCore.x64.dll -> PXCEditorCore.x64.dll
PDFXEditCore.x86.dll -> PXCEditorCore.x86.dll

Core API SDK:
PDFXCoreAPI.x64.dll -> PXCCoreAPI.x64.dll
PDFXCoreAPI.x86.dll -> PXCCoreAPI.x86.dll

Simple Edit SDK:
PDFXEditSimple.x64.dll -> PXCEditorSimple.x64.dll
PDFXEditSimple.x86.dll -> PXCEditorSimple.x86.dll

I hope that clarifies the situation for you, and I will mention to the development team that the link in the installation folder now goes to obsolete information - thanks for the feedback.

Kind regards,

[SHartmann]

From this changes I would expect that the csharp samples still work.
They don't work for me, and I did a fresh install.
Can you please look in these sample and confirm that they work on your side.
Maybe they need some adoption too (I have version 11.0.1, downloaded today)?


best regards

Stephan
