How to read PDF title property in VB 2010 program

Hi! I'm making a little VB program that browses through a directory and lists all the .pdf files with names that conforms to a special format and presents this list as hyperlinks on a web-page. To make the list more user friendly I have tried to read the <</Title() by parsing through the .pdf files, but have found that to be slow and unreliable. Can anyone please show me how I can access the title property directly? I just want to read it. A code example would be nice! I have downloaded the API, but that is such a huge beast that I don't know where to start, and my WinZip program refuses to unzip many of the html files in there due to their long and complicated names (I have the newest winzip version).
Any help would be grately appreciated! Thanks!

Hi
Two way you can.
Get_Application_property(Current_Form_name);
  Fname := :System.Current_Form;Or Your expecting this one
FTitle := Get_window_property('Your Window name',TITLE);kanish

  • How to read PDF files on your iphone in book format

    Hey everyone, I just posted a tutorial on how to read pdf files like ebooks on Stanza. Let me know if you have any questions
    http://budurl.com/u4tz
    That used to drive me crazy until I figured it out. Enjoy

    an easier way would be to wait until iOS 4 and then download the free iBooks app... you can import via the file sharing feature in iTunes (same that the iPad uses), or open the file from an email using the "open in" feature currently found on the iPad...

    ^ scroll down to the iphone with the subheading underneath saying "See what’s attached."

  • How to Read PDF Files Programmatically in VBA behind Excel

    Office 2010.  Is there any API or other tool available for Excel 2010 that would enable me to open a PDF, read it line by line (and examine the text on each line) from VBA code behind an Excel spreadsheet?  I have Acrobat Pro 9 as well.  Is there an API or other tool that would enable me to CREAT a PDF from VBA code behind an Excel spreadhseet?

    Reader, no.
    Reading PDF:
    Acrobat has an API but it is complex to use. PDF files are not divided into "lines" so this requires guesswork, fuzzy logic, and luck as well as detailed study of the Acrobat SDK.
    Creating PDF:
    You can Print to Adobe PDF programmatically. Limited functionality. Acrobat SDK describes how to suppress prompt.

  • Has anyone figured out how to read pdfs online when message says Internet Explorer stopped working?

    Hi,
    It may be that you will need to 'reset' Internet Explorer, but you can certainly check if this issue is being caused by an add-on as follows.
    Click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, open System Tools and click on 'Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)'.  See if Internet Explorer now runs correctly.
    Let me know.

  • How to read pdf document on my BB 9300

    anyone knows how to read or download a software for read pdf documents

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    For the time that a PDF remains an email attachment, you can render it on the BB. Once detached or otherwise not an email attachment, the attachment service no comes into play...and you require a 3rd party app to render it. There are several. I suggest you search AppWorld and other search sources, compare the various alternatives, and select the one that best meets your needs. You will likely find the DataViz apps as well as BeamReader and perhaps others.
    Good luck!

  • How to read pdf documents

    As I am finding out after installing OS Lion, several applications don't work: Microsoft Office (2004) and Adobe Acrobat Reader. I have download Pages and Numbers so that problem is solved. What is the solution for reading PDF documents? Also for making changes to PDF documents?

    In Mac OS X 10.6 PDF documents open up by default in Preview, I can't imagine it is any different in Lion.  If you have had Adobe Reader previously installed then this install may have been broken when Lion was installed (or is not compatible with Lion, very typical for Adobe to be behind with their development), so the default application for PDF files may have reverted to Adobe Reader 5 (which I seriously hope you do not still have installed).
    You should be able to set the default application for PDF files to Preview (or what ever the equivalent is in Lion - Quickview?)
    Personally I can't stand Adobe Reader, it's sluggish and buggy.
    Unless you have the original documents that the PDFs were created from, you may require Adobe Acrobat Pro or similar piece of software in order to edit PDFs, I'm not aware that standard OS X applications can fully edit a PDF, though you may be able to paste snippets over the top of text and minor changes like that (then Print, Save to PDF, to generate a PDF from it again, although some PDFs may be locked and not allow this).

  • How to edit PDF titles in iBook?

    PDF's moved to iBook with no title.  How can I edit or change the title?

    If the PDFs appear in iTunes (they would be in the Books section of the iTunes Library) then you can change the title by selecting each PDF,
    File->Get Info from the main menu and change the Name in the Info tab.  Then sync the newly titled PDFs back to the iPad.

  • How to read values from Property file into BPEL process local variable?

    I would like to use a Property file with some parameters e.g.
    <myparm1>12345</myparm1>
    How can I read from a BPEL process such a Property file and assign it into e.g. local variable "intparm1"?
    Where (in which directory) should I put this XML Property file to have it always available for reading?
    Peter

    Hi,
    You can also use
    ora:readFile( ) function as follow :
    ora:readFile(xml file location (ex. "file:///D:\\SOA\\FileAdapters\\readFile\\test\\test.xml"),xsd file location (ex."file:///D:\\SOA\\FileAdapters\\readFile\\test\\test.xsd"))
    inside the assign activity and assign this to the variable you want.

  • How to read Extended user property in oracle BPM?

    Hi,
    I have tried using the XPATH expression in Data Association to read an Extended User Property defined in Oracle BPM Workspace. Actually I'm using Active Directory for authentication, and as there is limitations for modifying existing AD to accommodate custom fields required for BPM Processes, I created an Extended User  Property called Department Code and mapped it for all users who should be participating in the process. Now I want to read this Department Code and display in ADF Form (Human Task Form).
    I tried something like this using XPATH Expr. in Data Association for Human Task :
    ids:getUserProperty(bpmn:getProcessInstanceAttribute('creator'), 'departmentCode')
    But it appears that using Identity Function exposed for Xpath we can only read some pre-defined set of properties associated with internal LDAP for weblogic. So please suggest what is the approach one should follow in order to read Extended User Properties defined in Oracle BPM Workspace.
    I'm using Oracle SOA 12.1.3 and JDeveloper 11.1.17 deployed on Windows 7
