Coming soon: 64-bit support

Behind the scenes we’ve been working on a solution for using Quick PDF Library in a 64-bit environment. We’re excited to say — and we know you will be too, since we’ve been receiving an increasing number of requests for such a solution. If you’re interested in doing some testing with this new version, email us at support@quickpdflibrary.com and we’ll happily send it to you.

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.
