in thread PDF content and visuals testing best practices

Just reposting a PM from andreas1234567 for reference:
I have trouble running pdftohtml.exe. It complains "freetype.dll" is missing (even though it *is* present in DLL dir)

Depending which version of pdftohtml.exe (Dynamic vs Static) you run, you may need the following dlls:

  • freetype.dll
  • jpeg.dll
  • libpng12.dll
  • zlib1.dll

These DLLs are found in the DLLs/ directory under Calibre Portable/Calibre/. You can do 1 of two things:

  1. Copy those DLLs into the same directory as pdftohtml.exe
  2. (Temporarily) add the path to the DLL directory to $ENV{PATH} in your script:
    { local $ENV{PATH} = $ENV{PATH}.";<PATH TO DLLs>;" system "pdftohtml.exe", "-xml", "<PDF FILE>"; }

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    This did the trick for me:
    set EXEPATH=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Calibre Portable\Calibre set PATH=%PATH%;%EXEPATH%\DLLS

    Thanks!
