Embed PDF viewer in C# Windows App
-
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, jpc
