Merge file cause Format issu depend on language in regional

[boucharo]

Sans titre.png

When i try to merge pdf with the new methode of merge (I copy past the code in the tuto), i have format error issu depending on the language selected in my regional setting. When i put it in french it doesn't work but in english everything is fine.

Il reproduce the error on different machine and i use the la nugget version. You can see in attachment an image of the windows setting causing problem.

In addition, i have form on that PDF, (I put pdf exemple to merge in attachment). The Form on different PDF contain field with the same name but when i merge sucessfully, the name are changed, but i want to keep the name similare because the field with the same name should contain the same information.

Have you a work a round to keep the same name on the pdf ?

Tanks.

If Not file.ToLower.Trim.EndsWith(".pdf") Then Continue For
Try
Dim files As String() = New String() {file}

Dim outputFile As String = "D:\Bureau\Lab\spirePDf\result\result-" & IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file) & ".pdf"

I finally found a workAround : If it's interest someone :

But if you can fix it it would be appreciate.

Tanks

Here's the workArround :
Dim tempCulti As CultureInfo = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New CultureInfo("en-EN")

Dim log As System.IO.StreamWriter = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("D:\Bureau\Lab\spirePDf\log.txt", False)

Dim last As String = "D:\Bureau\Lab\spirePDf\result\41-525 - Copie.pdf"
For Each file As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles("D:\Bureau\Lab\spirePDf")
If Not file.ToLower.Trim.EndsWith(".pdf") Then Continue For
Try

Dim files As String() = New String() {file, last}

Dim outputFile As String = "D:\Bureau\Lab\spirePDf\result\result-" & IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file) & ".pdf"

Dim doc As PdfDocumentBase = PdfDocument.MergeFiles(files)

doc.Save(outputFile, FileFormat.PDF)
Catch ex As Exception
log.WriteLine(file)
End Try
last = file
Next


log.Close()


Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = tempCulti

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Under French (Canada) regional settings, I did reproduce the issue that the program throws an exception when merging PDF files. I have logged this issue in our bug tracking system with the ticket SPIREPDF-4540.
As for the name of the form with the same name was changed after merging PDF files, I also reproduced this issue and logged it in our bug tracking system with the ticket SPIREPDF-4541.

If there is any update, we will let you know. Apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Sincerely,
Brian
