AccessViolationException - PdfReaderGetPageCount

[mmImc]

I am having an issue getting the page count of a PDF file. I am running GdPic 7.1.

int pdfID = this.gdImaging.PdfReaderLoadFromStream(stream);
try { return this.gdImaging.PdfReaderGetPageCount(pdfID); } // Exception thrown here
finally { this.gdImaging.PdfReaderCloseDocument(pdfID); }

The stream is coming from a WebResponse object. I have used a similar method to count Tiff pages (using the same data retrieval through the WebResponse) with no issue.

Could you please advise on this issue?

Please send us the PDF for investigation at http://support.gdpicture.com

Kind regards,

This is happening on every document I try, even the included GdPicture PDF documentation.

Here's some demo code I wrote up to test, it has failed on every document I have done.

Code: Select all

GdPicture.GdPictureImaging gdImaging = new GdPicture.GdPictureImaging();
gdImaging.SetLicenseNumberUpgrade(..., ...);

int pageCount = 0;

using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(@"C:\GdPicture.NET7.pdf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
      int pdfID = gdImaging.PdfReaderLoadFromStream(stream);      // Error is being thrown here now
      try { pageCount = gdImaging.PdfReaderGetPageCount(pdfID); }
      finally
      {
           gdImaging.PdfReaderCloseDocument(pdfID);
           stream.Close();
      }
}

OK I see,

we have a know bug with stream management in 7.1. This will be resolved in 7.2 which will be available next week.

I've just been testing the new 7.2 release with the issues I've been having. I can now pass in local file streams without issue, but I am still having my original problem with reading from an HTTP stream. I now receive the error on opening "GDPDFPLUG_LoadFromStream - exception: OLE error 80131515". Any suggestions?

Test Code:

Code: Select all

GdPicture.GdPictureImaging gdImaging = new GdPicture.GdPictureImaging();
gdImaging.SetLicenseNumberUpgrade(..., ...);

int pageCount = 0;

WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(@"http://guides.gdpicture.com/v7/pdf/GdPicture.NET7.pdf");
WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();

using (Stream stream = resp.GetResponseStream())
{
    int pdfID = gdImaging.PdfReaderLoadFromStream(stream);
    try { pageCount = gdImaging.PdfReaderGetPageCount(pdfID); }
    finally { gdImaging.PdfReaderCloseDocument(pdfID); }
 }

Hi,

This problem come from your stream. Seek operation is not supported.

You can try the following code to verify:

Code: Select all

using (Stream stream = resp.GetResponseStream())
{
  stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    int pdfID = gdImaging.PdfReaderLoadFromStream(stream);
    try { pageCount = gdImaging.PdfReaderGetPageCount(pdfID); }
    finally { gdImaging.PdfReaderCloseDocument(pdfID); }
}

You should try to create another memory stream containing exported data of the stream object.

Hope this helps !

Thanks Loic for pointing me in the right direction. I copied the incoming stream into a seekable stream and that seems to have corrected my issue.
