Opening File from URL

[doiley]

Hi there,

I am currently evaluating the sdk for our company and i have a few concerns/questions.

The first one is relating to opening a pdf from a url location. The application seems to 'download' the pdf to "My Documents" and then upon closing the document, it is still present in "My Documents". Is this normal behaviour? Is there another way I can open a document from a url (webdav folder to be precise) without the document being 'downloaded' into "My Documents" or is there a way to at least change this location and/or possibly delete the file?

Secondly, looking at the test/sample application "Commands", on the list some of the commands are in a 'disabled' state. Am I right to assume this isn't the case in the licensed version?

Thanks

It is normal behavior for end-user program: if you already downloaded the remote document once from a url - you can read this document from a local copy, without downloading it again (i.e. in offline mode).
You can change the destination folder by:

Code: Select all

SetProperty("Documents.DownloadFolder", "<NewDownloadFolderName>", 0);

You can obtain local file name of opened document by:

Code: Select all

String sOut;
GetDocumentProperty(DocID, "FileName", sOut, 0);

and you can delete this file:

Code: Select all

CloseDocument(DocID); // document should be closed before
DeleteFile(sOut); // Windows API

Secondly, looking at the test/sample application "Commands", on the list some of the commands are in a 'disabled' state. Am I right to assume this isn't the case in the licensed version?

It is normal behavior also, because some commands can be used in special runtime modes only. For example: the command 'Print' will be enabled when at least one document is opened. All commands are available for unlicensed version, but when you save any document via our SDK, and if SDK is unlicensed, then saved document will contain demo version watermarks on each page.
