Feedback! Any feedback large or small is appreciated. We’ll shortly be planning the next round of exciting new features for Quick PDF Library, so we’d really like to know what you want to see added to the SDK. Don’t be shy, email us at support@quickpdflibrary.com and have your say.

UPDATE: There is now a 64-bit compatible version of Quick PDF Library available as part of version 8. Read more here. Native 64-bit support is provided for the DLL, ActiveX and Delphi editions.

A native 64-bit solution is not yet available but Quick PDF Library can be successfully run on on 64-bit machines using WoW64.

Here is the relevant information on this issue for each edition:

• Delphi Edition — Delphi generates 32-bit code and so Windows will know to automatically run it through WoW64 on 64-bit machines.
• ActiveX Edition — if you’re using Visual Studio (or similar) you will need to set the platform target to x86 instead of Any CPU.
• DLL Edition — if you’re using Visual Studio (or similar) you will need to set the platform target to x86 instead of Any CPU.
• TCP Edition — this edition is designed to run as a service and will run successfully on 32-bit and 64-bit machines.

The basic steps required for configuring a project in Visual Studio to work on 64-bit machines with either the ActiveX or DLL editions are shown below.

In the future we will release a native 64-bit version of Quick PDF Library. The library is written using the Delphi programming language and at this stage, Embarcadero has not released a 64-bit compiler for Delphi — although it is on their roadmap and they’re working on it. As soon as Embarcadero release a public beta version of their Delphi 64-bit compiler we’ll get to work on building a 64-bit compatible version of Quick PDF Library.

Finally, if you would like to be notified by email when we release a native 64-bit version of the library please let us know by leaving a comment.
