WPF PDF Viewer control

Dears,
I try to open PDF files in my WPF application using AxAcroPDF control .. it is working fine
but i need to get the pages count and default zoom i opened the file with
Any Ideas .. ??
Thanks in advance

Through that interface you are limited to the specific methods listed in the Acrobat SDK, and I don't think it has this.
If you (each user) has full Adobe Acrobat there are more APIs available.

  • WPF report viewer throws exception when print button clicked when hosted on winform

    When hosted in a winform app the wpf report viewer control throws an exception when the print button is clicked.
    All the other buttons appear to work, any ideas on a work round?
    I have created a sample VS 2013 solution that shows this issue
    As I can't even attach a renamed zip file it can be downloaded directly from here: http://1drv.ms/QxUrZo
    The reason I am attempting to use this control is that the standard reportviewer causes occasional errors in citrix enviroments causing the citrix session to lock up.  This appears to be a relatively common issue and the usual issue of both sides (citrix & crystal) blaming the other for the cause and me the developer needs to find a work round.
    I've 'bodged' in an additional button on our app to export a loaded report to file as pdf then print it but this should not be the permanent resolution.
    BTW glad to see the x64 dynamic parameter issue has been fixed at last, think I reported this over two years ago and again ended up having to work round it.

    Hi Ludek
    A sample project that loads a simple report is available from here: http://1drv.ms/QxUrZo
    The project is called WPFReportHost
    This loads a simple report when run then you can test the basic functionality of the viewer and all will work until you press the print button and then you get the application crash.
    Have to improve my search technique when I googled for other people having this issue I didnt' find the link.
    We've noticed the WPF viewer loads considerably faster and has better functionality than the winform viewer and hope that it might solve the citrix preview issue (yet to be tested).
    So as a work round we've hidden the default print button added our own and call the report print directly as per below:
    using (PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog())           
         dialog.AllowCurrentPage = true;
         dialog.AllowSelection = true;    
         dialog.AllowSomePages = true;
         dialog.AllowPrintToFile = true;
         if (dialog.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)                     {
              reportDocument.PrintToPrinter(                         
                   dialog.PrinterSettings,                         
                   new System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings(dialog.PrinterSettings);
                    false);                   
    Would be nice to have a fix

  • Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

    Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

    deleting the adobe plugins in Library worked for me:

    But I don't know, where to specify the ReportSource.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    O.K., in this way I can set the ReportSource Property, but if I use the load-method, the compiler don't "know" about the properties of the specific report.
    The code
    For Each crReportObject In rd.Section4.ReportObjects
    brings the message

    An other problem is, that "C:\Users\aTai\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\CrystalReportWpfApplication1\CrystalReportWpfApplication1\CrystalReport1.rpt" don't exist on an user computer.

  • Starting PDF Viewer with file

    Hi, I want use the PDF Viewer (CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER) to display a pdf file without having to open it manually.
    The demo program SAP_PDF_VIEWER_DEMO works well. It opens the PDF Viewer in place, you can zoom and print the file. And you can disable buttons (we don't want the files to be saved and we don't want the user to display different files).
    The problem is you have to select the file manually. If I user 'open_document' at the end of PBO to transmit the file while starting the program, the command is being ignored.
    My question: Does anyone has a tip for me?
    Thanks in advance yours Johannes

    Hi
    If you look with se24 in the class cl_gui_pdf_viewer and you look for method constructor. You will see this code:
    method CONSTRUCTOR.
      data: clsid(80) type c.
    --- if it is Win32 ... ---
      if activex = 'X'.
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.1'.
    - if it is PlatinGUI ...-
      elseif javabean = 'X'.
        exit.
    --- if it WebGUI ---
      elseif www_active = 'X'.
        exit.
    --- unknown GUI type
      else.
        exit.
      endif.
    --- call the super-constructor ---
      call method super->constructor
        exporting
          clsid             = clsid
          shellstyle        = shellstyle
          parent            = parent
    Put your self a break point and change the value of
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.1'.
    to
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.5'.
    if your are lucky it will work afterwards.
    perhaps you also can try
        clsid = 'PDF.PdfCtrl.6'.
    but I am not sure if this will help you. With 5 it was working on my PC this activeX control was existing. If version 6 ever existed, I dont know.
    If the debugging works then make a copy and change it for real.

    Enable and encourage user input in PDFs (viewed with Adobe Reader)
    with FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Form Assistant
    Half-hour webinar (free; no fluff, no hype, no nonsense)
    Wednesday, June 5, starting 9am PDT
    Register at: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/157658438
    Enabling PDFs for various types of user input can strengthen the interaction between users and the content, and improve satisfaction due to greater user involvement/control. In addition, designated avenues for user input can contribute to documentation quality and provide outlet for frustration, for example by sending inputs regarding the documentation or the product directly from within the PDF.
    Techniques demonstrated in this webinar include features that are all embedded in PDFs that are viewed with the free Adobe Reader:
    • text fields where users can record data values and options
    • checkboxes to track progress
    • page marks and notes (optionally e-mailed)
    • embedded grading/feedback forms
    • storing of useful search queries within the PDF for future use

  • Acrobat Reader DC - auto defaults to .PDF viewer

    I work in an enterprise environment that supports around 1200 computers.  I have about 80 users that have various versions of Adobe Acrobat Pro installed on their office computers.
    When we upgraded our reader product to DC and deployed it, all of the computers with Acrobat Pro installed had their default viewer changed from Acrobat Pro to Reader DC.  I have not had this issue with other previous versions of Adobe Reader.
    I have the Adobe Customization Tool set to "Installer will decide which product will be the default."
    It is my understanding that with this selection, the installer will set the default .PDF viewer to the most secure version. (of course this is going to be the new Reader DC program)
    I have already found a registry change that removed the welcome screen.  Are there any other fixes, flag, switches that I can take advantage of to have the installer not change the users default viewer?
    I have a lot  of users that work only with Acrobat Pro and get a bit upset when their default viewer changes.  Our technicians have to remote into the individual computers and switch the default viewer manually.  If we had to do this each time Adobe releases an update, it would not be a sufficient use of resources.  I would like more control over this.  What are my options?
    Jared

    Hi,
    You can use the LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP property as described here (Installation options — Acrobat Customization Wizard DC for Windows).

  • PDF Viewer component that works in NetBeans VWP

    Hi All,
    I am looking for a PDF Viewer Component that will work with NetBeans VWP. Ideally, this would be something that I could load into the Pallette and drop on a web form for use, then dynamically call up a document for display within the control. (Actually, IDEALLY, this would be a multi-document viewer, i.e. PDF's Word files, text files, etc.). It does not have to be a free tool - though free would be nice. I have checked out the Acrobat Viewer Java Bean but from everything I can find on that, it appears to be something that can be used in Java Apps, but not web apps. If I am wrong about this, can someone please correct me and link to web app usage (as applied to VWP - JSP & JSF).
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I noticed a lot of references to IText on this forum and I'm in the process of checking it out now. But I have not seen anything on IText regarding an actual viewer component.
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    I don't believe iText has a viewer as I know of. If Adobe has a java bean then you can create an applet for the client side to display the viewer.

  • C# WINDOWS APP:  EMBED PDF VIEWER WITH FULL LIBRARY

    Here are my requirements:
    1) A PDF viewer that is embedded in a window in my windows app.
    2) I must be able to reference button_click events in the PDF from my windows app. (i.e. if i click a button in the PDF, the event occurs in my windows app.
    Pertaining to the above requirements:
    Here is what I've noticed so far. The Adobe Reader ActiveX works great at simply viewing PDF's and the buttons are shown too. However, I haven't found anything in the Reader library that allows me to reference the buttons in the PDF. This leaves the following questions.
    Possible Solutions: (need your help/recommendations)
    1) Can I use the Acrobat SDK to reference the document that is open inside my Adobe Reader ActiveX control? (If I can, then i can get a hold of my buttons and events). If I can do this, does anyone have any clue about the proper syntax? All of the the samples I've seen actually reference a document that acrobat opens, not the reader....
    2) Can I embed the Adobe Acrobat (not the reader) in my windows app in order to view the files? I haven't seen this done yet. Every example I've seen opens the acrobat in it's own window!!!
    3) Is there other software out there that offers both functionalities: 1) Embedded viewing window with 2) Full access to PDF library?
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, as I have searched High, Low, and In Between for a solution.
    Thanks,

    Patrick Leckey and Walker81,
    So, according to both of you, it is possible.  I have messed around with the buttons a little bit in acrobat enough to know that you can make a button that on click will run a javascript.  The problem is that I do not know any javascript, which is why i was trying to access it only with C#.  However, I am now receptive of the idea of learning at least a little java to get around in adobe (it seems unavoidable).  Any examples or pointers as to how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
    So for clarification:  Is the following statement correct?  If I have an Adobe Reader Active X control which opens the PDF, it is impossible for me to also reference that opened PDF as an acrobat object, thereby getting access to all of it's objects.
    From what I understand:
    -  I can put in the button field of my "template button" to call a certian javascript that is stored in the PDF, and this javascript can send information to my C# windows application.
    - I can embed acrobat (not reader) into my C# application with the MenuItem that Walker81 mentioned. (btw, i'm not concerned about the extra cost.  I really just need something that works)
    This brings about a question though:  If I can embed acrobat in my Windows App, then what keeps me from accessing the button fields through that avenue?  (I think the adobe SDK has an example of fields being accessed - things like text boxes being filled in and junk).  So would it be possible to create a buttonclick_event of all of the buttons in the PDF at runtime through adobe's library by looping through all of the fields and declaring a buttonclick event???  I'll look into it, because being able to access a field and being able to make an event from one can be two different animals I guess...
    Thanks for the responses, and I will look up and mess around with the methods you described and try to make them work from my limited knowledge.  If anyone has any example code they'd like to share to get me started on this, it would be helpful.  I understand there's something called a document level function or something like that in adobe.  I'm assuming you're saying that the button would call this function, and that this function would reference my windows app.  I will look at this some more and try to follow up on here.  I can't imagine that i'm the only person trying to do this..

  • Set preview as default PDF viewer

    Hello,
    I downloaded the update for Adobe Reader and during installation, it over-rode my choice to use Preview as my default PDF viewer in Safari.  I've searched high and low and tried to change this from both Safari's preferences and Adobe Reader's preferences.  Unfortunately, the section to "click" in Adobe is grayed out and will not allow me to deselect it.  I also tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, but that just caused Safari to not open any PDF documents.
    Any thoughts on how to correct this are greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Eden

    Right or control click a PDF file you already have on your hard drive then click Get Info.
    Click the pop up menu next to: Open with
    Choose Preview from the menu or navigate to the Applications folder and select Preview from there.

  • Changing default PDF viewer

    I need to change the default PDF viewer on a large number of computers
    from Acrobat Professional to Reader. When I say "change the default," I
    don't just mean the file association; I mean every default, including
    browser plug-ins.
    When you install Acrobat or Reader on a computer on which the other has
    already been installed, you get a prompt as to whether you want Acrobat
    or Reader to be the default PDF viewer. I want to get at that
    functionality, preferably by script. So far as I have been able to
    discover, the ONLY way to get at that function is by uninstalling one of
    the programs and reinstalling it.
    Is there a deployable way to do this? I prefer scripting methods, but
    manual remote changes are good too.

    I have no choice. This is what I've got to work with. And our Acrobat
    software is controlled by a KeyServer, which is why I need Reader to be
    the default (so as not to use up licenses for mere viewing of PDFs).
    In any case, the two programs do know how to set a default between
    themselves when you install the second one, so that functionality must
    exist somewhere, supported or not.

  • Acrobat Ignore "Set as default PDF Viewer" Setting

    Hello,
    I see from previous posts that this has been an issue for a while. I have an image that contains Adobe Reader. That image is deployed to all users. Some users get Acrobat Pro. also. So I went thru the whole customization tool and selelcted "Make Acrobat the default PDF viewer" and am using the Setup.ini and .MST file. Everything else works - skips EULA, reads serial number - everything but making Acrobat Pro the default PDF reader. After I install it and launch it for the first time I am presented with the "make Acrobat reader your default PDF viewer" question. How can I set this once and for all and not prompt every single user?

    Unfortunately there is no option post installation with Acrobat 8 to change PDF ownership. However this is possbile Acrobat 10 onwards. But yYou can choose to make Reader XI the default PDF handler during installation itself.
    1. Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs, select the entry "Adobe Reader XI" and Un-install.
    2. Then visit link : http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and choose the Reader which you need.
    3. When you double click the EXE, then a screen will come showing extraction of files. As soon as extraction ends, installation will begin and you will be presented with following screen :
    4. Uncheck the checkbox which says "Make Adobe Reader my default PDF viewer"
    Acrobat 8 will remain default PDF viewer on your machine.

  • CR2010 Report Viewer control crashes application when deployed

    I have been using the latest release for CR2010, on a Win 7 x64 machine running VS2010 targeting .Net Framework V4, and all is working fine.
    However, when I publish my WPF application as an x86 client and deploy to a WinXP machine, the Report Viewer control crashes the application.
    Any clues out there?

    Yes there is not much to go on. As I described, the symptom is a crashed application - nothing else I can tell you. When you select a report to load into the Report Viewer control - down it goes with nothing more than a "send this dump to microsoft" message.
    I do have some further enlightenment however. I can deploy the application to the standalone machine straight out of the Release bin and it works fine. Given that is the case I can rule out the CR2010 run time install as the issue. What I suspect is the problem is that the individual report files (.rpt and .cs) are not being packaged by the VS2010 publisher.
    There may be a way to do this, but I do not know of it at this point in time, so I have marked this problem as having been solved, but I would like to know if anyone has a solution to the deployment of CR files using VS Publish.
    Thanks
