PDF Template - Could not open Dynamic Library /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1
OS: AIX 4.3
ZLIB: 1.1.4, downloaded from Bull AIX Freeware
Progress: 9.1D
I downloaded and installed the zlib library from Bull AIX Freeware site, installing it using the instructions they provided. I have verified that the correct files reside in /usr/local/lib (libz.a, libz.so.1.1.4, and symbolic links to libz.so.1.1.4 from libz.so.1 and libz.so.
I have modified pdf_pre.i to use /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 as the zlib &GLOBAL-DEFINE. But when I try to run FormFill.p, I get the error 'Could not open Dynamic Library: /usr/local/lib/libz.so.1 (8013) DLL Error: No such file or directory (8014).
I have added /usr/local/lib to my PATH variable in my .profile. I even tried setting permissions to 777 on all files in /usr/local/lib (desparation).
I am not a Unix administrator; installing zlib made me nervous enough as was. But I am at a loss where else to look. I have combed the internet trying to see if I could find some sort of solution that made sense to me.
Has anyone else running AIX 4.3 had sucess with installing zlib and running pdfinclude using existing PDF Templates? Or can anyone give me any other suggestions?
Thank you!

I remember aaalllll the
I remember aaalllll the troubles we had with PDF Include ...
Bugs and no one to fix them, I18N problems, big learning curve with all the hundreds of commands you need to learn, very limited functionality and never mind that it takes a week to create a form and a week to make a change.
Why would anyone still use PDF Include with the alternatives we have today.
alternatives???
I am very interested in your post. I have been looking for "alternatives" to PDF Include, but honestly, can't find anything that allows me the flexibility of using Progress code to process data, as well as generate a pdf report. Of course, there are good report writers if your databases are perfectly normalized, but ours sadly are not . . . And although they are good at generating the report, they are difficult to use when processing any data while generating the report. Can you tell me some of the alternatives you have found so that I can research them as well?
Thanks!
Funny you should ask :) We
Funny you should ask :)
We developed 100% 4GL Word and Excel utils and a conversion util to PDF, HTML, Open Office and many other file formats.
Everything works on UNIX/Linux and Windows and is compatible with Progress version 9 and upwards.
The way you use the utils is design your document in a visual tool, in MS Office or Open Office etc.
and merge the data in Progress. There are less then 10 commands to know.

Install and try the samples.
The utils are fully supported and we release a new version every 4 month.
Call me, I'll be happy to give you an online presentation.
