B4J Question Show PDF in B4J

[mohammad shaterian]

Hello friends, honestly, I am really surprised that it is not possible to simply display a PDF file in B4J and I regret that a smooth and high-performance library has not been designed for this so far. I almost gave up on continuing to program with B4J for the desktop because when I have an urgent need to be able to display PDF files in the B4J environment but I cannot do it easily, I decide to use other languages such as C#, but I really hope that there is still a simple path that my knowledgeable friends can guide me so that I can easily and with maximum capacity use B4J. Sincerely

How are you showing the PDF with C#?

You can use the very simple fx.ShowExternalDocument to open it with the default PDF app.

Try this, it works great. I have used it.

Tankyou Mariano, I also use it, but the quality of displaying PDFs is somewhat lower than what I expected from it, Is there a way to use the Acrobat Reader object inside the B4J pane to make the most of its resources?
Now, in Visual Fox Pro, I load a PDF file directly into the Visual Fox Pro form using the Internet Explorer object, and then the Acrobat object opens the PDF file and provides all the features.

That's completely wrong. PDFBOXWRAPPER is the way to go.
You can zoom the PDF, you can jump directly to a page, follow linkings. Just follow the links all the users posted before me!
I have been using this library for several years. You can customise it to fit into your programme and integrate the display of a PDF perfectly into your application, here an example:
