Setup VBScript for use with Debenu Quick PDF Library

This tutorial shows you how to get ready to create your first PDF application with VBScript and Debenu Quick PDF Library.

Step By Step

1. Register the ActiveX DLL

The first thing you'll need to do is register the ActiveX DLL. Instructions on how to do this can be found on the getting started page for the ActiveX edition of Debenu Quick PDF Library.

2. Associate .vbs files with WScript

In order to easily run these examples on your desktop, you will need to associate .vbs files with wscript.exe. You can do this by following these steps:

Right-click on a .vbs file and select 'Open with > Choose default program'.
click on the 'Browse...' button and navigate your way to 'C:\Windows\system32'.
Select the 'wscript.exe' file and click on OK.

3. Run a test

.vbs files should now open wscript.exe when they are double-clicked. Download this small VBScript file, which is the script we'll use in the next VBScript tutorial, and double-click on it. A PDF should automatically be created and placed in the same folder as the VBScript file. Congratulations, you're ready to move onto the next tutorial.
