I have been using QuickPdf for a couple of months now and it's been helping out great. I just wondered if, after I use Drawtext function on a new or existing PDF file, I can preview what the changes look like before I save the new file?

For example:

Qp.drawText(..)

Preview file

if preview is ok

QP.SaveToFile(..)

else

don't save

end if

Hi!

There are better methods to do it but
what about saving to a work-file and do the preview with this file?
Here in the samples section there is relevant code.

Cheers, Ingo

You can call the QP.RenderPageToFile() and then display the rendered image file onto the screen. Another option is RenderPageToDC().

Ingo's idea would also work.
