Disabling file launching and external hyperlink navigation

[kluck]

As requested, here is my minimum support information:

1: Version and build of the Product you are using of ours.
PDF-XChange Viewer SDK
PDFXCview.exe: 2.5.316.1
PDFXCviewAx.dll: 2.5.316.1

2: Version and build of your development tool/application (i.e. Delphi 6, VB.Net etc)
VB6 6.0 (SP6) 9782

3: Windows Version and any service pack info.
Edition: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 1511
OS Build: 10586.104
System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

4: A Clear and concise description of the issue
I need to completely suppress the viewer control's abilities to:
a. navigate external hypertext links
b. open files
The motivation for this need is that I require the viewer to run in a very secure mode - launching files or opening a browser is strictly prohibited.

5: Source files (i.e. if converting an image - supply the image) and any PDF file generated etc
Not applicable

6: Any relevant code snippets
Not applicable

7: Ensure you have checked any error or return codes in your source code before requesting support
I've tried a number of approached but cannot find anything in the SDK examples to address my need

Hi, kluck.

Please look there:
https://help.pdf-xchange.com/DEV/de ... bj_prompts

ConfirmOpenSite
- look for sample in pseudocode. You may set 2 (i.e. "Cancel") value to "Prompts.ConfirmLaunchFile.UseChoice" property, during processing the corresponding notification.

ConfirmLaunchFile
ConfirmOpenRDoc
- both are undocumented but similar to ConfirmOpenSite. So, to prevent launching programs/files from pdf - set the 2 to "UseChoice" property too.

HTH.

Thanks for the information. The only problem I ran into was a typo in your post: substring "UseChoice" must be "UserChoice"

Hello kluck,

Glad we could help,
And I have passed the typo to the guys maintaining the web content for update.

Cheers,
