#213 PDF generation failed: Missing dll

Application Version 0.23b (0.23.0.868)
On attempting to generate pdf output I get an error from htmldoc.exe:
"Application failed to start because LIBEAY32.dll can not be found. Re-installing software may fix."

Suggestions? Should this dll be in the distribution or is the problem with my system?
Otherwise, I have not had problems and I think this is great software! Thanks for sharing it.

    Can you try to unzip this file into the "DelphiCodeToDoc\Exe\HTMLDoc" folder ?
    These two files are the missing DLL's.

    I will add it to the next official release.
    I'm waiting your confirmation.
    Thx for your help !

    Thanks for responding Trident. I tried as you suggested, unzipping the dlls and putting them in DelphiCodeToDoc\Exe\HTMLDoc. This required creating a new folder because Exe is not a folder in my distribution. I got the same error message, can not find dll. So, I put the dlls in \DelphiCodeToDoc_exe_v0.23b\HTMLDoc folder, which is where the htlmdoc.exe and htmldoc.reg files also reside. Putting them there and running Build resulted in no missing dll error message but no pdf file is being created either. The only file in C:\Program \out\pdf is a 5KB .book file. Please let me know if I should try something else. - Ric

    I tested on different clean system (nothing else installed) and it works perfeclty, no error as you mentionned.
    What is your Operating System ? can you send me more detail about your system background ?

    please, I need more information to understand your issue.
    Can you also test the dailybuild version ?

    I downloaded the build from 1/12/2010 and got the same result - the pdf generation option created a .BOOK file but no pdf file. The chm and html generators worked fine. Perhaps it is something about my system .

    I have given up on the pdf output for the time being and happy with the html output. Thanks, despite my problem this is great software. By the way, I'm running XP Pro v 2002 (5.1.2600) service pack 3.

    I will continue to investigate this issue.
    What is strange is that I made a test with a clean system (WinXP SP2 - just after the install), and pdf generation is ok !
    I will send you my results.
    Thx again for your help and patience about this issue.
