Drivers

New Release: Feb 03/2009 - UPDATED DLL's only!UpdatedDLLsONLY.zip

DynaPDF.DLL is an update from the developer of this library. It fixes a bunch of issues with the conversion of the Snapshot file to PDF. I have also included an update of StrStorage.DLL to fix an issue with Security.

New Release: June 9/2008 - see version History below

A2000ReportToPDF is an Access 2000 database containing a function to convert Reports and Snapshot files to PDF documents. No PDF Printer driver is required. This archive contains new versions of the StrStorage and DynaPDF libraries. Please make sure you delete your old versions, especially if you copied them into your WindowsSystem32 folder.

Version 2.785 May 12/2008 11:11am

Nov 04, 2012 dmSize is the size of the public part of the devmode structure, (on my Win 7 laptop this is 220 bytes regardless of printer), dmExtra is the size of the private area of the devmode structure which varies from printer to printer. Both of these values are added together to allocate the right amount of memory. The primary way for applications and users to specify print job settings to the print subsystem is by using the DEVMODE structure. The print subsystem treats the DEVMODE structure as untrusted because the DEVMODE structure originates from outside the print subsystem. The printer drivers often access this data structure as well.

New Version of DynapPDF.DLL dated March 11/2008. New Version of StrStorage.DLL dated May 12/2008. Fixed Paper Size Bugs. Added new functionality to allow user to Merge two separate PDF documents into a single PDF document. Exposed Security and Permission properties. Exposed flags for UNICODE conversion of the Text records contained within the Metafile. Change search order for DynaPDF.DLL and StrStorage.DLL - now searches the folder your MDB resides in before searching System32 folder.

You MUST replace StrStorage.DLL, DynaPDF.DLL and modReportToPDF in your own MDB before calling the new functions.

Version 2.753 March 22/2006 1:40am

New Version of StrStorage.DLL dated March 22/2006. Fixed memory bug. Had mistakenly commented out line of code that deleted the Memory EMF created for each page of the report. You only need to replace the StrStorage DLL on your computer.

Version 2.752 February 22/2006 1:52am

Finally resolved missing lines produced by the Report Line Tool issue. Added support to allow users to turn off font embedding. New versions of the DynaPDF and StrStorage libraries. Increased execution speed. Added major error handling to StrStorage DLL.

Version 2.01 November 16/2005 12:12am

Major change to project. No more MDE! Core logic is now contained within a standard Windows DLL named StrStorage.dll produced in C++. New version of the DynaPDF library. Neither the DyanPDF DLL or the StrStorage DLL require Registration or a Reference to be set in your MDB. Solution now works with all versions of Access. Several minor bug fixes and huge increase in execution speed.

Version 1.8

Added Boolean parameter to signal whether the registered PDF application should be launched to view newly created PDF document. Add StrStorage.DLL to fix issue with parsing of Snapshot file. This will also fix non USA issue( Error Paper Size is not supported). The A2K MDB showed corruption upon conversion from the original A2003 version. I imported everything into a blank MDB and the corruption has disappeared. Please let me know if it resurfaces.
