Initializing a PDF Reader control

• Define the initial document ("General" tab in the description window of control).
• Assign the PDF Reader control with the PDF file. For example:
  
  // Selects a .pdf file in the current directory
  sFileName is string
  sFileName = fSelect("", "Presentation.pdf", ...
  "Selection of PDF files", ...
  "Pdf file (*.pdf)" + TAB + "*.pdf", "*.pdf", fselOpen)
   
  IF sFileName ~="" THEN
  // No selected file
  RETURN
  END
   
  // Load PDF file
  PDF_MyDocument = sFileName
  
  If passwords are used:
  • If a password is used to protect the file at opening, a window will be displayed to type the password.
  • It is not possible to open a protected PDF file.

• Use <PDF Reader>.Open. For example:
  
  PDF_MyDocument.Open("C:\Users\test\Documents\file.pdf")
  
  IF ErrorOccurred() THEN
  Error(ErrorInfo())
  RETURN
  END
  
  Remark: <PDF Reader>.Open allows you to give the file password by programming.
