PurePDF2.27

This update was created to keep up with the changes on the PB compiler as of July 2024. It works with PB6.11x64 and PB6.02x64. If you are starting a new program do not use PurePDF, instead may I sugest:

PBPDF-Module by  Thorsten1867 https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=531139#p531139

 

This update contains all the changes and suggestions made by users of the PB forums. I made every effort not to create code breaking changes, but please try with test code first.

All you need is the main PurePDF.pb file: ( I am including the resource file, but it did not change )

I created a ZIP file with all the examples, and help file from the original. I feel that most of the answers to many of the questions in the forum can be found there: ( The license is in the help file )

Finally, I am including here the original zip file so that we have it in the sample place with the latest changes; (Thanks to Lucky Luke, ABBKlaus, Luis,JHPJHP, and many more for the original)

=======================================================================

from 2017:

It has become difficult to keep track of all changes I've made to my copy of PurePDF and some of the new changes are based on previous changes. I hopped to have time to create a nice website with examples but I think it might be easier to post the  changes I've made to the library so people can use it  now. Later on I will try to create new examples. 

if you don't have the latest version from ABBKlaus with all examples first get version 2.25 from:

http://www.purebasicpower.de/?PurePDF

 

I optimistically called this tentative version 2.26 until ABBKlaus gets up to speed and updates

the whole library.

It should work as a direct replacement of PUREPDF.pb from the Example folder.  You should use a diff program to see the differences in code. ( good to do with any program downloaded from internet )

replace the original PurePDF and resource files with these, to quote ABBKlaus Just use the XIncludeFile method.

Added fixes from the forums try this one on a test program. It shouldn't break anything. use the same purepdf_res.pb file as before
