I don't know if I miss anything but this function always create extra page. i.e. Result = QP.NewPages(iNumPages)

Result is always = iNumPages+1.

It should return 0 or 1 as describe in the manual. I am using VB6 with QuickPdf ActiveX 7.23

Yes. There is a small problem with the documentation.

The NewPages function seems to return the total number of pages in the current document.

int ret = QP.NewPages(1);      // returns 2.  We start with 1 page by default.
int numPages = QP.PageCount(); // returns 2.

ret = QP.NewPages(2);          // returns 4 because we are adding 2 pages.
numPages = QP.PageCount();     // returns 4.

Thank you. I will pass this onto the person in charge of documentation.
