For me it was one possibility to repair it by removing it (giving the hint where to find a substitution). The other possibilities would be to merge the latest version from PECL to PHP_4_3, or checking for PDFlib6 (and then consequently for PDFlib5 too, as this wrapper only supports PDFlib up to Version 4.x). Merging the latest version from PECL would not be a solution, as it only supports PDFlib 5/6 and not the older versions of PDFlib. This would break the compatibility (In PECL we have to versions of the PDFlib extension one for PDFlib 3/4 and one for PDFlib 5/6). So I thought the best thing is to give the peoples the possibility to choose the right thing and use the PECL extension they would like to use. I hope it is more clear now why I got the idea that removing is some kind of repairing here. As I did put pack the old version, the question remains on how to solve the Bug #29297? -- Best regards, Rainer Schaaf rjs@pdflib.com http://www.pdflib.com Personalize PDF: PDFlib Personalization Server and Block plugin _______PDFlib - a library for generating PDF on the fly________
