Rick, I was able to generate the same error by attempting to reinstall the latest pdn installer on a Dell XPS M1330 Vista Ultimate machine. The pdnmsiinstall log displays the following: started: 1/20/2008 18:59:54 === Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'policy.9.0.Microsoft.VC90.OpenMP,version="9.0.21022.8",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="amd64",type="win32-policy"'.

Rick, Thanks for the safety tips! Bill private void btnConvert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { PdnFileType aPft = new PdnFileType(); JpegFileType aJft = new JpegFileType(); Document aDocument; Stream aInputStream = null; Stream aOutputStream = null; try { // Read pdn file from file system. aInputStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\LayerTest.pdn", FileMode.Open); // Convert PFT stream ot a document. aDocument = aPft.Load(aInputStream); aInputStream.Close(); // Set save parameters. JpegSaveConfigToken aJpgToken = new JpegSaveConfigToken(100); ProgressEventHandler aHandler = null; Surface aSurface = new Surface(aDocument.Size); // Create output stream. aOutputStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\LayerTest.jpg", FileMode.Create); // Save the document as a jpg file. aJft.Save(aDocument, aOutputStream, aJpgToken, aSurface, aHandler, false); aOutputStream.Close(); } finally { if (aInputStream != null) { aInputStream.Dispose(); } if (aOutputStream != null) { aOutputStream.Dispose(); } } MessageBox.Show("Done."); }

I seem to have gotten it to work with the following to changes: // Flatten the document. Document aDocumentTemp = aDocument.Flatten(); and then // Save the document as a jpg file. aJft.Save(aDocumentTemp, aOutputStream, aJpgToken, aSurface, aHandler, false); Doh! Thanks Bill

In attempting to learn the PDN programming, I am writing a little utility that will convert my .pdn files to .jpg so that I can view them. I kind of followed the example in the PDNBench source. The code snippet below successfully reads in a two-layer .pdn file, but when I write out the file, I only see the second layer (text), not the two layers (photo + text) merged together as I expected. I assume that I am missing something with either document.flatten or the surface. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks Bill PdnFileType aPft = new PdnFileType(); JpegFileType aJft = new JpegFileType(); Document aDocument; Stream aInputStream = null; Stream aOutputStream = null; try { // Read pdn file from file system. LayerTest.pdn is a pdn file with two layers. // The first layer is a photograph. The second layer is just some random text. aInputStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\LayerTest.pdn", FileMode.Open); // Convert PFT stream ot a document. aDocument = aPft.Load(aInputStream); aInputStream.Close(); // Flatten the document. aDocument.Flatten(); // Set save parameters JpegSaveConfigToken aJpgToken = new JpegSaveConfigToken(100); ProgressEventHandler aHandler = null; Surface aSurface = ((BitmapLayer)aDocument.Layers[0]).Surface; // Create output streem. aOutputStream = new FileStream(@"C:\TEMP\LayerTest.jpg", FileMode.Create); // Save the document as a jpg file. aJft.Save(aDocument, aOutputStream, aJpgToken, aSurface, aHandler, false); aOutputStream.Close(); } finally { if (aInputStream != null) { aInputStream.Dispose(); } if (aOutputStream != null) { aOutputStream.Dispose(); } }
