PDF Portfolios

Post by jwsullivan »

I am having a problem with the new Adobe "PDF Portfolio" document type, sometimes referred to as the "PDF Package" that apparently was introduced with some release version of Adobe 8. When I attempt to view it using the PDF Viewer is displays a page showing the Adobe logo and saying "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later."

In addition, when I try to query the total pages of the PDF package document using xcpro40.dll, it always returns 1 page.

Will this new package type be added to the SDK?

Hi, jwsullivan.

Unfortunately, but it is unsupported in current realization.
We planning support it in the new version of our SDK.

Best Regards.

Will this feature be included in the coming V3?

Hello Cew,

Even now it's possible to view the files in a PDF Portfolio:

But we are considering a "home screen" just as the one in Adobe's reader in a future release of our Viewer.

Best,
Stefan

I know that, but our customers don't.
Will the home screen be available in V3?

Hi Cew,

Yes - unfortunately it's delayed till october - but we prefer it this way rather than releasing it unfinished!

Cheers,
Stefan
