Inserting Pages without showing onscreen?

[ugradedeveloper]

My application uses the ActiveX SDK primarily to allow the user to put annotations on an existing document. However, there are some circumstances in which it needs to add or delete pages. The insert operation sometimes produces errors in which case my application needs to close the document and revert to a saved version.

I was wondering if there were any way that I could insert pages without having the document displayed on screen. I have never used the Simple DLL version, but I looked through the documentation and the functions seem to be narrowly focused on display functions, there don't seem to be any operations for insert/delete etc.

Without purchasing another product such as PDF Tools, it seems that the only way I can insert pages is to do it with a document that is opened on the screen in the ActiveX. I would just like it if anyone can confirm that this is true.

Thanks

Hi Lewis,

I will ask one of our Viewer SDK specialists to reply as if it is possible - as its not obvious to me at this point how ...

Hello Lewis,

Simple DLL was designed only for displaying PDF documents. For manipulation you can use PDF-XChange Tools SDK or Viewer ActiveX. In your case you can try to open document in hidden Viewer AX and make needed changes to document.
