Incorrect PDEObject Type Exception.

Report · Sep 22, 2016

In my Adobe Acrobat Plug-In on some very specific data sheets, an exception is thrown "Incorrect PDEObject Type'. This occurs at the execution of the PDEContentGetewtNumElems( pdeContent ) statement. Not sure why I would have an Incorrect PDEObject Type only in very specific files.

---------------------------------------------------------

static void EnumeratePDEElems(PDEElement);

static int outputLimit;

static void PDEPathExplorerSnip( int pageNum )

{

AVDoc CurrentAVDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();

if (!CurrentAVDoc ) return;

AVPageView CurrentAVPageView = AVDocGetPageView(CurrentAVDoc);

PDDoc pDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc( CurrentAVDoc );

PDPage pdPage = PDDocAcquirePage(pDoc, pageNum );

if (pdPage == NULL) return;

PDEContent pdeContent = PDPageAcquirePDEContent(pdPage, 0);

PDEElement pdeElem = NULL;

DURING

int cnt = 0;

ASInt32 numElems = PDEContentGetNumElems(pdeContent);

for (int i=0; i<numElems; i++)

{

pdeElem = PDEContentGetElem(pdeContent, i);

EnumeratePDEElems(pdeElem);

cnt++;

}

HANDLER

DPageReleasePDEContent(pdPage, 0);

char buf[256];

ASInt32 err = ERRORCODE;

ASGetErrorString(err, buf, 256);

AVAlertNote(buf);

END_HANDLER

outputLimit = 0;

PDPageReleasePDEContent(pdPage, 0);

}

My guess is that there is some bad content on the page – but without seeing an exact PDF, I couldn’t tell you.
