Is it possible to programmaticaly open a document "in the background" so that it isn't shown in the viewer but it is still possible to work with it? (Possibly even through OLE)
Thanks

Hi 1shadow,
To manipulate an existing PDF file without UI you will need to use our Tools SDK methods:

Re: Opening document in background
I only wanted to use the viewers functions i.e. read annotations and export them/write them to the document opened in background..that's why I'm asking if such thing is possible and what tools would I need for it.. Aren't the PDF-Tools included in PDF XChange PRO SDK?

Hi 1shadow,
To use the Viewer AX - you need to have it visible (even if it's 1x1 px), and yes the PDF XChange Pro SDK allows you to use the PDF Tools SDK as well.

Hi 1shadow
You may use hidden Viewer ActiveX control on your form for background manipulations with documents.
Your form can contain more then one viewer-controls in one time...
