Where do you put the Ranorex_PDF_Library files?

Post by gilbar16 » Thu Oct 22, 2015 8:32 pm

Hello,

I couldn't find the info to this so I thought I'll ask here.
Downloaded the files needed for converting Ranorex Reports to PDF.
Where are we supposed to copy these Ranorex_PDF_Library files?

If I just copy the files to a folder, the Ranorex.PDF.DLL does not show up in the Add Reference dialog.

Thanks.
Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

I save extra libraries in the folder that contains all my Ranorex Solutions.
Once you add the reference, don't move the .dll so your solution will find the file. When you build the solution/project, this .dll will be copied to output directory too (bin\release or bin\debug).

Here is how to do it:

Right-click your project > Add Reference > .NET Assembly Browser > Browse (open the folder where your downloaded Ranorex.PDF.dll is saved) > Select .dll > Open
By now the Ranorex.PDF.dll should be in 'Selected References' in the Add Reference dialog. Click OK.

That's it! I hope it helps.

Please let us know if this worked for you, or be more specific about your situation.

Kind regards,

Hello Lucian,

Thank you for the instructions you provided. I just couldn't find this solution in the step-by-step guide provided in the Blog on Converting Ranorex Results/Reports to PDF.

I will give this a try today.

Thanks again.
Gilbert


Instructions you gave worked perfectly. The Reports/Results in PDF format look great !
