Why are my Units a string?
In older versions of ABCpdf the Units property was a string. So you might find code of this form.
theDoc.Units = "mm"
In Version 8 the Units property has been changed to a true enumeration. This is a safer way of coding as it allows the compiler to ensure that the values you are using are valid. Your new code should look like this.
theDoc.Units = UnitType.Mm
The names of the items in the UnitType enumeration are the same as the values of the strings used in previous versions. So changing your code should be a simple search and replace operation.
Alternatively if you need to convert between enumerations and strings automatically you can do so. To convert from a string to an enumeration use the following code.
UnitType unitType = (UnitType)Enum.Parse(typeof(UnitType), unitString, true)
To convert from an enumeration to a string use the following code.
string unitString = unitType.ToString("G")
