textElement.ToString() no longer works

GemBox.Pdf
1

I started with an issue where a dash ‘-’ was no longer being out in the location. It may have never worked, but I think it did.

I noticed there was an update, so I updated. Now, when my code attempts textElement.ToString(), like in the examples, I get an error:

System.NullReferenceException
HResult=0x80004003
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This previously worked for all but the dash ‘-’

Thanks,

James

P.S.

This is actually two different issues I realize now. This one should be deleted and I’ll create one for the primary issue and deal with the upgrade issue at a later date.

Mario,

I have a support ticket # 32022 that has more info and a file uploaded. It is dealing with the not drawing of the dashes ‘-’

I decided not to update unless I am told it is fixed in the newer version. This is becoming a critical issue as we have a client that we cannot process their data until this is fixed. I am concerned that no one has taken my Support Ticket yet.

It seems that the NullReferenceException doesn’t occur with the current latest version:

Install-Package GemBox.Pdf -Version 17.0.1484-hotfix
