Hello,
I am using ImageEn 13.5.
I am trying to create a monochrome PDF but it end up being 8 bit color.
ImageEnViewPdf := TImageEnView.Create(nil);
ImageEnViewPdf.IO.Params.PDF_PaperSize := IEStrToPaperSize('US Letter', iepLetter);
ImageEnViewPdf.IO.Params.PDF_PaperLayout := ielLandscape;
ImageEnViewPdf.IEBitmap.PixelFormat := hyiedefs.ie1g;
IEGlobalSettings.AutoSetBitDepth := True;
Are there any other parameters that I need to change?
Thank You
Gene

Hello Nigel,
"Native loading is being used for PNG"
Also these show as undeclared identifiers so maybe a version issue?
RadStudion 12.3
ImageEn 13.5
IEGlobalSettings.IEVisionAvailable
IEGlobalSettings.CopyIEStatusToClipboard(True, True);

Ugh, sorry, I meant ActivePDFEngine. I need to know if you are using native ImageEn code or PDFium to save PDF files.

I installed the latest ImageEn and ran the Compatibility Fixer (useful tool)
I ran this code -
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IEGlobalSettings.PDFEngine := ieenAuto;
if IEGlobalSettings.ActivePDFEngine(True) = ieenNative then
ShowMessage('Native loading is being used for PDF')
else ShowMessage('Native loading is NOT being used for PDF');
"Native loading is NOT being used for PDF" was the answer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The PDF was saved in the correct format greatly reduced in size.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Nigel,
We are now getting the correct PDF format but found another error.
When we installed the newly re-compiled program for an end-user, she received the following error.
"PDFium.DLL is missing - Copy iepdf32.dll to folder with Notary.exe"
This message is somewhat confusing.
I found this - https://www.imageen.com/ieforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5374
Where can I download the correct DLLs?
Thanks,
Gene
iepdf32.dll was already there. We added PDFium.dll but we are still getting the same error message.

Hi Gene
iepdf32.dll is our PDFium DLL. It is included in the \DLL\ folder where you installed ImageEn.
However this error is not in our code: "PDFium.DLL is missing - Copy iepdf32.dll to folder with Notary.exe." So presumably it is in yours. What is the code that triggers this message?
