hi, I'm using 10.0.1 to work with PDF in ImageenView, but my routines that used to work applying layers over imageemview stopped working when imageenview.pdfview.enabled := true; how to solve this?

Hi Tiago

Yes, PDFViewer is not intended to be used with layers. Can you tell me more about what you are looking to do?

I really need you to point me something in the sense of layer that works with PDF, we have a routine that works by dropping an image with layer over imageen and we can't give it up.

Hi Tiago

If you are looking to adorn a PDF page with arrows, etc, then don't enable ImageEnView.PDFViewer.

Instead just load the PDF page as a bitmap (ImageEnView.IO.LoadFromFilePDF). Then all the normal layer functionality will work.

No, that would create an unwieldy bitmap.

PDFViewer puts ImageEnView into a special display mode. Layers are not possible. This is outlined in the documentation.

I tried the solution indicated by you, but when I open the pdf using "loadfromfilepdf", imageenview distorts the PDF image making the printout illegible, how can I get around this? below is a screenshot of how it looks in imageenview.

Hi Tiago

In this method, ImageEn rasterizes the PDF to bitmap, so ensure you are loading at reasonable size to maintain quality.

Either call LoadFromFilePDF() directly passing a size as parameters:

https://www.imageen.com/help/TImageEnIO.LoadFromFilePDF.html

Or set the AutoScaleImport properties:

https://www.imageen.com/help/TIOParams.AutoScaleImport.html


Also, ensure that you have specified a zoom filter:

ImageEnView1.ZoomFilter := rfLanczos3;
