QuickPDFAX0721.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like QuickPDFAX0721.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. FreeOCR) could share the same QuickPDFAX0721.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 QuickPDFAX0721.dll is attempted to be loaded either when FreeOCR is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common QuickPDFAX0721.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - QuickPDFAX0721.dll.
- QuickPDFAX0721.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\FreeOCR\QuickPDFAX0721.dll.
- Cannot register QuickPDFAX0721.dll.
- Cannot start FreeOCR. A required component is missing: QuickPDFAX0721.dll. Please install FreeOCR again.
- Failed to load QuickPDFAX0721.dll.
- The application has failed to start because QuickPDFAX0721.dll was not found.
- The file QuickPDFAX0721.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because QuickPDFAX0721.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your QuickPDFAX0721.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with FreeOCR), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, QuickPDFAX0721.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading FreeOCR, system crash while loading QuickPDFAX0721.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.
