This VDSPDF extension control allows you to display PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format) files within on your VDS dialogs.

As you probably know most of Windows systems have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. VDSPDF takes advantage of this by using the readers engine.

You need Adobe Acrobat Reader v4.x or better to use VDSPDF.DLL

Here's some of the commands/functions:
PDF GOTOPREVIOUSPAGE{, <control name>}

PDF GOTONEXTPAGE, <control name>

PDF GOTOLASTPAGE, <control name>

PDF OPEN, <control name>,<filename>,

PDF GOTOFIRSTPAGE, <control name>

PDF GOBACKWARDSTACK, <control name>

PDF GOFORWARDSTACK, <control name>

PDF PRINT, <control name>

@PDF(TOOLBAROFF, <control name>)

This will remove the Acrobat Reader toolbar.

@PDF(TOOLBARON, <control name>)

This will enable the Acrobat Reader toolbar.

And theres more...

Also included with VDSPDF is a third party application I found that enables you to produce a PDF document with any regular text files! Its called PDF PRODUCER and its a Freeware. I DO NOT SUPPORT PDF PRODUCER. Its included in the zip file of the VDSPDF package.


Because some the VDSPDF features will only work when the VDS application is compiled, I compiled in VDS 4 the example that comes with VDSPDF so you can try.

In trial mode you cannot use VDSPDF after compiling your VDS application.

Here's the link to download the VDSPDF extension:

Just a note that you don't need to download the demos AND the extension by itself. The demos include the extension.
