octrools DLL location?

[nlopes]

I am trying to use the new OCR functionality and obtained the Live version of the ocrtools.dll. If I place this DLL in the same folder as my application and I try to do the OCR_INT, I get an error telling me the DLL cannot be found. It seems that I need to place it in the Windows\System32 folder. This is unlike other DLLs in the toolkit where they work off the same app root folder. Is this the case or am I doing something incorrectly? Also for the KEY do I use the PDF 5 Tools SDK license key or the PDF-XChange Viewer PRO SDK key? It seems to be working ok witht he PDF 5 key.

Thank you,

Nelson

The OCR DLL is not a registerable DLL and does not need to be in the System32 directory; it is loaded at runtime from the same directory as the executable like our other non-ActiveX DLLs. Are you saying you've tested it and it only works when you place it in Windows/System32?

What language are you using, and are you attempting to use one of the examples?

Yes, it's not working from the applications folder and I could only get it to work when I placed it into the System32 folder. I'm updating an older application written in VB6 and this particular application is an ActiveX EXE file. I'll try it again and let you know if it works. Perhaps it will at run-time, just not working during design-time for me.

Thank you again for your time.

[UPDATE] - Just tried it again and it's working. I apologize. Not sure what was going on before.
