Rendering PDF with Windows.Data.Pdf and allowing text selection

Hi there,
I need to render a PDF and allow the user to select text on the PDF.
As I see, Windows.Data.Pdf does not support more than returning an image.
Even so, how can I achieve my goal? The Windows 8 app "Reader" has this capability but I don't understand how it works.
BTW: I have tested other renderers but they have rendering issues with some complex PDF content (complex: RTL).
Thanks,
Lidan

Hi Lidan,
Unfortunately, the built-in PDF feature has not provided select text on the PDF. You can send your request on UserVoice to ask public that API.

  • When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks.  Adobe  Reader XI

    When opening in filled PDF form, the data flashes and then blanks.  Adobe  Reader XI
    I filled in this form with important data.  And saved it.  I have since opened it and printed it again.  Now when I open it the fields become blank  I can see them for a split second as it clears them.
    I believe I have updated to Reader XI since I filled it in.

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.

  • Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

    I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
    Thanks in advance

    I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
    long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
    pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
    100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
    email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
    size/processing?

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

    I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS.  While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one.  This is a big problem.  I must be able to save on the newer computer.  Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS?  Please help.

    Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

  • Error -54 with windows 8.1 and iOS 7.1.2

    I tried adding two albums to my iTouch 5 with windows 8.1 and recently updated my iTouch's OS to version 7.1.2. I keep getting the error -54, saying it couldn't be synced but it still keeps sycing and comes up a lot. I tried restoring my iTouch and restarting my laptop, can anyone help?

    That's weird. Here it is in full.
    It may be too late for you to try what I did, but by the looks of it, it will be viewed many times going forward.
    I noticed I was having the problem with songs that had been in WMA format but converted by iTunes. From what I read, this error is actually about permission issues for the files. I tried changing the permissions on the directory and cascade them to each file, but that didn't work. Reading more, one user got around the problem by zipping the problem files and use the files from the zip to sync. That worked for them. I tried that and it didn't work. Then I just figured there is some residual setting either on the iPad or in iTunes that was still hosing me.
    I'd gotten pretty annoyed by this time so I figured I have to start with a clean slate. I reset the iPad to factory condition. I then went to windows restore and selected the restore point prior to installing iTunes. I then went thru the painful process of setting everything up again. Once I was installed and let the music be added to iTunes, I went thru and "unchecked" everything I didn't care if it went to the iPad. That was frustrating since I didn't actually have any check boxes showing. Since I was going to exclude whole albums, I did a right click on one in iTunes and there was an option in the context menu to uncheck the box. I did this for all the unwanted albums At this point, I connected the iPad and it was recognized. I went to the page to set up the syncing options. I tried to do it manually, but that was going to be a huge pain so I did the automatic sync and check the box to NOT sync unchecked items.
    Finally, it started to work. I still got about 15 of the error -54 messages. I just clicked it away and the syncing continued.Since I had nearly 2000 songs transfer, I don't know which caused the error but I now have music on my iPad.
    It's a lot of work, but I finally got the results I wanted. Hope this helps.

  • Is iTunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?

    Is Itunes compatible with Windows Data Execution Prevention?
    Every time I open iTunes, the Data Execution Prevention Closes it Down. We Have Windows XP

    I finally got it to work by making sure that I was running itunes as the "administrator".  Here's what I did: Right click on itunes......click on 'run as'.....click on "administrator", it'll ask for a password.  If you don't know it (like me) create a new account user called "Admin" with a password.  Everytime you want to use itunes do this.  I know it's a pain but so far so good.  Hope this helps.

  • Lync Server 2010 conference not working with Windows 8.1 and IE 10

    Hello,
    The problem is that whenever a Windows 8.1 user tries to join a Lync server 2010 conference using Internet Explorer 10 (or 11, tried that too) the user can't join the conference. If the conference is created by a Lync server 2013 user joining works fine.
    When using Lync 2010 client we get the following error in the client: "error id 87 source id 7".
    When using Lync 2013 client we end up with a blank conversation window.
    There are no traces in server log, client log or event log.
    Below is a set of use cases that may help you to understand what is the problem scenario. Each of these works or does not work with both Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 client.
    - Lync server 2010 conference, windows 7, Chrome, Firefox, IE 10 or 11 --> Works.
    - Lync server 2010 conference, windows 8.1, IE 10 or 11 --> Does not work.
    - Lync server 2010 conference, windows 8.1, Chrome or Firefox --> Works.
    - Lync server 2013 conference, windows 8.1, Chrome, Firefox, IE 10 or 11 --> Works.
    It does not help to add the meet address to IE compatibility list (Compatibility View Settings).
    If i press F12 in IE and change the document mode of the meet page to IE 9 version then i can join meetings with Windows 8.1 and IE 10. Unfortunately i cannot make that as a default setting for the meet website.
    Any ideas on how to get Lync server 2010 meetings working with Windows 8.1 and IE 10 or 11?
    IE is the company default browser. Windows 8.1 is not a default operating system but we have increasing number of Windows 8.1 computers in our environment (mainly directors).

    According to your description, it is hard to tell whether the issue is related with IE or Lync Server 2010 or both.
    Compare the log when Lync client on Window 8.1 with IE 10 or IE 11 join Lync server 2010 conferencing and Lync Server 2013 conferencing.

  • HT1349 I just purchased  new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

    I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to.  How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

    Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this.  I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes.  I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you.  I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud.  So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out.  There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service.  As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough.  Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree.  But thank you for reading and replying.

    c) unistalled and reinstalled iTunes
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
