Hi.

I attach a simple application with two targets. One loads pdf using ole in one window and webbrowser control in a second window. The second targets opens pdf using webbrowser control and is a modified version of the first target.

Hi Andrew,

 

You can use the Web Browser control to render PDF files inside your app without having to rely on any external applications. Please see here: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022r3/pbug/ch04s05s01.html

Additionally, if you need to create or manipulate PDF documents in your application you can do so using the new PDF Builder objects: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022r2/application_techniques/PDFBuilder.html

Regards,
Francisco

Thank you

I am struggling with the documentation and getting this going.

 

Would anyone have a simple example they could share please, where it opens a pdf from the local drive in a window ?

 

Thanks so much

 

Andrew
