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

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.

Andreas.
