Dear Arturo,

Can you preview PDF file without any installation PDF Reader (any program)?

Regards,
Dutch

source code ?

Hello Duch,

A Download-link

Cool PDF Reader is Freeware and a Standalone Exe-file
( The fastest and smallest Reader ( only 650 K ). No install needed )
Just include the Exe-file in Your Install-directory.

Dear Uwe,

I would like to open PDF file without execute any program. I just found some program that provide SDK DLL or Active X for open PDF file. It is interesting solution.

Great news.

Thanks.

Buen trabajo Arturo, ya nos iras contando mas cosas.

Arturo,

I would like to implement your new class in our app ASAP, do you have a timeline - date of release?

Arturo;

What I really need (-really bad-) is a way to print pdfs without having to open for preview. Straight from code: Just like that.

Any hopes?

Hi Reinaldo

I use adobe reader for this - I save the location of acrord32.exe for each user

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe - I also have a function that finds acrord32.exe so when the user updates adobe reader they
can update the path.

I save the path into an array of different parameters that I pass to each prg file
aPrivs[19] := system->adobepath

then in my code I use
bAdobePath := {|cPdf| alltrim(aPrivs[19]) + ' /t' + ' ' + cPdf} // the /t switch makes adobe go the printer or if you
want a preview remove /t switch

then call WinExec(eval(bAdobePath,cPdf))

for printing pdf's and other files without dialogs, you can also use 'ShellExecute' with 'printto' parameter, as described here
http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewt ... it=printto,
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/760363
or here
http://delphi.about.com/od/delphitips20 ... rintto.htm

Samples:
ShellExecute( 0, cOperation, cPathFilename, cParameters, cDirectory, nShowCommand )
ShellExecute( 0, 'printto', 'c:\pdf\test.pdf', Chr( 34) + <cPrinter> + Chr( 34), '', 0 )

It seems as Arturo is using free SumatraPDF:

Good finding, Arturo

I have tried sumatra as well as acrobat. There are problems with both approaches. With Sumatra it all goes well until about the 20th copy when it begins to slow down. I need a way to print 1000 pdfs one after the next without previewing. It seems like the constant calling of sumatra fragments memory in such a way the computer starts to slowdown to a crawl.

I'm now about to experiment with a .dll from Sorax (http://www.soraxsoft.com/index.html) I'm hopeful that this is the solution.

Hi Antonio,

No, I'm not using SumatraPDF, I'm using mupdf and thirdparty, sumatraPDF also uses mupdf

Can see www.mupdf.com

but has a problem, there is no documentation

Regard,

Arturo
