Can we embed PDF-Xchange SDK ActiveXControl in SharePoint

[sukhman]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell if we can embed PDF-XChangeViewer SDK ActiveX control in SharePoint webPage/Asp.net page(any web application). If so, how can we achieve that. Please explain.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Corwin,


I tried to do so. But since this is developed as windows forms control dll, not a webform control. It is not possible to embed the same as server side control on ASP.Net page.

Thanks and Regards,

Well ActiveX controls is indeed not the same as Web controls. Client side should have installed and registered PDF-XChange Viewer ActiveX control to see it on Web page. But that doesn’t mean that you cannot add ActiveX controls to your ASP.Net page.

Hi,

I created a web application and tried to embed the activex control by using the following html tags:
<object id="PXCV" classid="CLSID:FE36F0F3-F082-41B7-9EED-772505A7C054" width="600" height="500"></object>

Also copied the ActiveX control dll in the root folder of web application. I had written a code to load the control with pdf on Page_Load. But the control doesn't load pdf file.There is no error though.
Please help.

Thanks and Regards,
Sukhman

Here is small sample of how to add Viewer ActiveX on Web page – maybe it can help you.

Actually I too was trying the similar way....

But now changed a code exactly as per the sample provided by you. But now I get the error "PXCV(i.e the activex control object) is not defined". Can you guide what could be the cause?

[Corwin - Tracker Sup]

Can you give us sample project on which you get such error?
Also just to make it clear - so do you get PDFXChange Viewer on the sample which I have provided?

Hi,

PFA the web-application I have created. Yes I can see the document loaded in the sample provided by you.

Thanks.

Hi,

The only difference i see in the sample and my web app is that...the sample contains plain html file whereas mine is ".aspx"(ASP.net) page.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Sukhman.
In ASP.NET by using JS to access to ActiveX component you should get it from "document.all" first. So here is your fixed code:

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	function OpenFile()
	{
		document.all.PXCV.OpenDocument("",0,0,0)
	}
 </script>

HTH.

Your prompt response really saved us from wasting time on small things and now we can go ahead and implement other features as required.
