I have an existing application.

In that I need to add feature that will allow a user to open PDF file as image.

For that I added the following line
ImageEnView1.PdfViewer.Enabled := True;

After adding this line user is able to load PDF file but for some unknown reason the feature of ImageEn Objects stops working.

I am using the following code to add an Object.

ObjID := ImageEnView1.GetObjFromIndex(0);
ImageEnView1.ObjBrushColor[-1] := RGB(255,255,212);
ImageEnView1.ObjKind[IEV_NEXT_INSERTED_OBJECT] := iekBOX;
ObjID := ImageEnView1.AddNewObject;

//Set location and size of object
ImageEnView1.ObjLeft[ObjID] := ObjX;
ImageEnView1.ObjTop[ObjID] := ObjY;
ImageEnView1.ObjWidth[ObjID] := ObjW;
ImageEnView1.ObjHeight[ObjID] := ObjH;


How to resolve this issue?

Hi Yogi

The PDF Viewer changes the functionality of TImageEnView for PDF display, so TImageEnVect objects do not work with it.

Layers are supported if you need to edit PDF page objects:

If you do not wish to use layers, you can load the PDF as image (PdfViewer.Enabled=False). Then standard TImageEnVect functionality is available.

Thanks for the solution. This trick works.

Currently enabling PDF, loading the PDF file and then disabling PDF.

Once again thanks a lot.

Hi Yogi

You shouldn't need to use the PDF Viewer at all. By default, (when PDFViewer.Enabled=False), ImageEn just loads PDF files as images.

Hi Nigel,

Initially my first attempt was to test loading of PDF files directly in IE but some unknown reason they were not getting loaded but after the solution you suggested in previous post worked for me.

But now that you have mentioned it I will try again to load PDF files.

Thank you.
