Hi,

I use Acrobat Reader ActiveX control in a PB window to show PDF documents.

Maybe you can also open PDFs in the new WebBrowser control.

HTH,

René

Hi,

I will look into your proposal to insert the PDF in a webbrowser

Thank you for your answer.
In fact I am using an Adobe Acrobat DC browser Control / Implementation olecustomcontrol. The attached file shows the obtained display. I would like to get the display in full screen mode (CtrlL) automatically.
Is this possible?
Another question: How did you implement Acrobat Reader ActiveX?

You could try to hide the toolbar after loading the document:

ole_acrobat.object.src = is_filename
ole_acrobat.object.setShowToolbar (False)
ole_acrobat.object.setShowScrollbars (True)
ole_acrobat.object.setView ("FitH")

It works fine,
here is the code I used:
ole_pdf.object.src = "C:\TEMP\PDF\GDP386503G01.pdf"
ole_pdf.object.setPageMode ("none")
ole_pdf.object.setShowToolbar (False)
ole_pdf.object.setShowScrollbars (True)
ole_pdf.object.setView ("Fit")

However, there are still some unwanted areas on the screen (circled in yellow). I've searched the following document but haven't found anything that would help me: https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/acrobatsdk/pdfs/acrobatsdk_iacguide.pdf
Do you have an idea?

Thanks again for your help

See if the F11 key does anything. If so, try using SendKey()

Sorry to hear that, it was worth a try as most applications now show full screen when using that key.

Anyway, your 'title' is more like a space to show the error / warning about the signature. What happens if you view a pdf without that warning appearing?

regards.
