Thanks for the response, can you please provide me some inputs on which version of Aspose.PDF for .NET should I use for testing with a PowerBuilder win32 app. I see the latest as 7.5.0, but while installing the same I am receiving an error message that the system cannot open the device.

Hi Balaji,

The latest version of Aspose.PDF for .NET is v7.5 (the one you are using). We have checked the installer application and it works fine without any issue. Please provide us more information regarding the error message you are getting and provide us the details about your system environment i.e. OS, 32 bit or 64 bit machine etc. so we can check this issue further.

Alternately, you may download the Aspose.PDF for .NET v7.5 (DLLs Only) and try the manual installation and registration of Aspose.Pdf.dll
as per the below links.

In case you still face any issue, please feel free to contact support.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Thanks for the inputs, installation with the dll worked for me on windows 7 64 bit. but can you please confirm, whether I can convert XPS document to PDF using COM interface. I am using following code snippet to mimic the .NET implementation using PowerBuilder which is a win32.

OleObject AsposePDF, XPSoptions, Doc
Integer li_return
AsposePDF = CREATE OleObject
XPSoptions = CREATE OleObject
li_return = AsposePDF.ConnectToNewObject("Aspose.Pdf.Document")
MessageBox("Aspose Document", li_return)

li_return = XPSoptions.ConnectToNewObject("Aspose.Pdf.Options")
MessageBox("XPS Options", li_return)

Doc = AsposePDF.Document("c:\asposepdf\receipt.xps",XPSoptions)
AsposePDF.Save("c:\asposepdf\receipt.pdf")

I am getting errors like the class name does not exist. Can you please provide me an example of how COM interface can be used for document conversion. I am specifically interested in Aspose.pdf.

Thanks & Regards,

Balajni
