Using qpdfview_0_4_1.zip when I try to open a pdf file I get a message that it can not load the PDF plugin.

[axdmlm]

I downloaded Qpdfview_0_4_1.zip and unzipped it into a directory. When I attempt to open a PDF it fails with a message could not load PDF plugin. I ran chkdll32 against the qpdfview.exe and here is the output.

[I:\Qpdfview]chkdll32 qpdfview.exe
Loading DLL 'libc065' --> I:\ECS\DLL\LIBC065.DLL.
Loading DLL 'QtCore4' --> I:\USR\LIB\QTCORE4.DLL.

All DLL's used by 'qpdfview.exe' could be loaded.

first of all use newest qpdfview, which is 0.4.2 and also loot at the readme to verify you have all needed dll.
and yes qpdfview.exe could load everything, that's why it runs. but when opening a pdf qpdfpdf.dll gets loaded. and it seems something is missing for that.
try to redirect the output to a file like qpdfview.exe > out.txt. if this file is empty try qpdfview.exe 2> out.txt

I would like to download 0.4.2 but when I click on the zip file Firefox gives me a 505 failed to change directory message. I am using Ecs 2.2 beta. I tried to open a bug on Ecs but they told me to open a ticket here. Firefox is 10.0.11.

Sorry wrong message. The Error message is 550 failed to change directory.

[Silvan Scherrer]

thx for letting me know. the link is fixed.
and sure this ticket belongs here, as ecs has absolutely nothing to to with qtapps port.

[Silvan Scherrer]

any news about that ticket?

[Silvan Scherrer]

please use pmdll from hobbes and see if all dll for qpdfpdf.dll can be loaded.

[Silvan Scherrer]

hmm no response for 3 weeks. so i close it.

I have tried to use PMDLL with QPDFVIEW.EXE and it gives me this message:PMDLL Tree View File is not a DLL or executable. ('LX'). I do not know what this means but the program actually does appear to run, but can not load the PDF Plugin. My original report included the output from the ChkDll32 program and it indicates that all dll's can be loaded. See the original report. I don't have an explanation for this, but I am using the ECS 2.2 beta which is supposed to have the QT libraries already installed.

Chkdll32 says: All DLL's used by 'qpdfview.exe' could be loaded.

[axdmlm]

I don't know what is with the version 2.34 of PMDLL, but I tried version 2.11 and it does give me a DLL tree. It reports no load failures. I do not know how to send a copy of the output, since the program does not create a report file.

i wrote in comment 8 that you need to see if all dll for qpdfpdf.dll are loaded. that all for qpdfview.exe works we know, as other wise it would not load.

[axdmlm]

CHKDLL32 says this: [I:\Qpdfview]chkdll32 qpdfpdf.dll File is not a valid OS/2 .EXE or .DLL file

PMDLL does not report any errors but there are lots of DLLs and no convenient way to list the output from that program.

Finally I can read PDFs. I tried the qpdfview-0_4_3-beta1.zip and it does work.

[Silvan Scherrer]
