Hi,

I tried to follow the instructions in help_iOS_1.7.pdf to include PDFViewer 2.9.7 in my existing iOS 5 project.

When I try to compile I get an error:

RDPDFViewController.m:65:19: Implicit conversion of C pointer type 'PDF_DOC' (aka 'struct _PDF_DOC *') to Objective-C pointer type 'PDFDoc *' requires a bridged cast

It's from the method:
- (int)PDFOpen:(NSString *)path withPassword:(NSString *)pwd

... and from the line:
[m_view vOpen:m_doc: self];

The similar line in the example project works fine.

I'm not very experienced iOS developer, but as far as I can understand it's a problem with Objective C <-> C++ interface? Any help is appreciated.

PDF_DOC is struct in C language.
PDFDoc is obj-c class. it's different.

Thank you radaee for your reply. I can appreciate the fact that they are different.

However it's the unmodified example code from help_iOS_1.7.pdf and that compilation error doesn't occur in the example project which too has a similar line.

Maybe I'm missing some compilation flag etc.? I did use the -lstdc++ flag. I also double (even triple) checked that I did everything as is instructed in help_iOS_1.7.pdf but I might have misunderstood something.

While I have pretty long programming experience, I am rather new to Objective C.

What might cause the compilation error?

You can try add (__bridge void*) before error object，just like


id obj = [[NSObject alloc] init];
void *p = (__bridge void *)obj;
id o = (__bridge id)p;

---

This maybe cause by ios5 system.You can try the demo in ios6 and ios7.

This issue still exists for me.
If i convert like with ( [m_view vOpen:(__bridge PDFDoc *)(m_doc): self];
Application getting crash.

Hi,which version demo you use？Could you show me some code where you use m_doc and definition of it?
