BindPCL Method

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi.


Can you please let me know what the BindPCL method, which is part of the Aspose.Pdf.Generator, does?

Other examples for the other Bind methods like BindXML make it look like you can “convert” the bound referenced document to a pdf object and then save. Do these methods allow you to convert from the Bind(whatever file format) method to Pdf ?

An other example:

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the details.


I’m confused as I read in other posts that your Aspose.Pdf conversion utilities do not work with PCL files. When I saw the BindPCL method I decided to inquire further.

Regardless, I have already tried the BindXML example code working instead with BindPCL and a few different PCL files. The BindPCL method throws the following error: "Object reference not set…"

I know my PCL files are not the problem because they work with other PCL files readers and converters.

Could you please provide a working example using the BindPCL method?

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you please share the source PCL files so that we can test the scenario at our end. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Hi.


This is the code I am using and the test PCL files are attached.

Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf pdf1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf();
//Bind PCL file into the document
pdf1.BindPCL(“C:\test1.pcl”);

//Save the document
pdf1.Save(“C:\test1.pdf”);

Thanks!

Has there been any advancement or new development on this issue?


Is this a bug with the recent merge of your pdf and pdf.kit products?

Thanks.

Hi,


Sorry to be a pest. Is there any update on this yet? It would be very helpful if you could provide an estimate of when this might be resolved.

Thanks!

Hi,


We noticed an update to the Apose.Pdf product today but are still not sure when or if this bug will be fixed. The new version still throws the same “Object Not Set” error.

We really need to know if this will work and a rough estimate for when it will be fixed or we will need to purchase a Pcl to Pdf conversion utility from another vendor.

Could you please provide more details on the status of this ticket?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for your patience.

As per my observations, when I have tried converting the PCL files that you have shared into PDF format using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 6.3.0, I am unable to notice any issue. The PDF documents are properly being generated with following code snippet. If you still encounter any problem, can you please confirm that you are using the same PCL files that you have already shared or, you are encountering issues while converting some other documents.

We are sorry for your inconvenience.

[C#]
Pdf MYPDF = new Pdf();
MYPDF.BindPCL(@“D:\pdftest\test3.pcl”);
MYPDF.Save(@“D:\pdftest\test3.pdf”);

PS, For your reference, I have also attached the resultant PDF documents that I have generated. Please take a look.
