OK.. I think I've solved it.
Your example below has a small error, I think. It doesn't work as previously
explained.I think this was due to the fact that when constructing the
PdfVariant with a PdfString, I have previously tried to construct a PdfString
the same way I construct a PdfVariant. The line in bold below shows why I was
running into this problem. I get the reported error on the third line if I
dont' do this. Could you let me know if I'm missing a point here.. Thanks
std::string str = "Hallo World!";PdfVariant var(PdfString (str,NULL)); // (I've
added a NULL for string encoding in this case)PdfString pdfStr =
var.GetString();cout << pdfStr.GetString() << endl;cout <<
var.GetDataTypeString() << endl;cout << var.GetDataType() << endl;

Hi,
Take a look at the API documentation:
http://podofo.sourceforge.net/doc/html/classPoDoFo_1_1PdfVariant.html
The following code should work:std::string str = "Hallo World!";PdfVariant
var(PdfString(str));PdfString pdfStr = var.GetString();cout <<
pdfStr.GetString()
It should work similar for all the other types like PdfName, PdfDictionary etc.
Cheers, Dominik

I'm just trying to get some basic grasp of PdfVariants. I can't seem to do
anything with them. Would anyone be able to explain whether a PdfVariant can be
turned into another Pdf Data Type or does it just support it in some elusive
way.
If it can hold any data type (like the VB variant type) then how is it
initialized? It's quiet clear that .... myvar = "string"; doesn't work. Nor
does myvar("string").
I'm having trouble understanding them.. Why won't the below work? I get an
error :'request for member 'GetDataTypeString' in 'myvar', which is of
non-class type '
PdfVariant myvar(const PdfString &st);
cout << myvar.GetDataTypeString();
Thanks
