LayoutEditor.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like LayoutEditor.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like ActivationClient.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. doPDF) could share the same LayoutEditor.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when LayoutEditor.dll is attempted to be loaded either when doPDF is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common LayoutEditor.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - LayoutEditor.dll.
- LayoutEditor.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files\Softland\novaPDF 10\Driver\LayoutEditor.dll.
- Cannot register LayoutEditor.dll.
- Cannot start doPDF. A required component is missing: LayoutEditor.dll. Please install doPDF again.
- Failed to load LayoutEditor.dll.
- The application has failed to start because LayoutEditor.dll was not found.
- The file LayoutEditor.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because LayoutEditor.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your LayoutEditor.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with doPDF), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, LayoutEditor.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading doPDF, system crash while loading LayoutEditor.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
