Display a PDF in Visual Basic Six

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have mastered the art of creating my PDF but I cannot display it.

My development language is Microsoft VB 6.

Trying to use the Adobe DLL crashes the system.

Do you have a function in your library that will do this?

Thank you.

Murray

	Hi Murray, if your pdf-creation was successfully you can check with QuickPDF. You only have to load the pdf with LoadFromFile and the returning value tells you if it's okay ;-) You can Show your pdf-pages using the render-functions inside QuickPDF. Additionally there's a new pdf-viewer-sdk from Debenu based on QuickPDF. Here you can read about all functions: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/FunctionGroups.php Here you can read all about the render-functions: http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/RenderingAndPrinting.php Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo

	Thanks Ingo. I do know about the functions you referenced but they don't quite fill the bill. I want to display the PDF, allow the user to interact with it and then capture the interactions. (My software completes government forms). I am a brand-new user who purchased the library a couple of weeks ago. I don't recall any mention of an SDK. I'll try to find it on your site.

	So you wanna build a pdf-editor. Really heavy stuff. How long are you developing with pdf... 5 years... 10 years? You won't get success with QuickPDF creating a real pdf-editor. QuickPDF is worth each dollar and more of its price but it's still a low cost product and your requirements are too much for it. Perhaps it's possible but not only with QuickPDF. A lot of own development would be necessary. Cheers, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo

	Murray, when you say you want the user to interact with the pdf, how do you mean? filling fields etc or more? Regards Andy
