As far as I can tell this setting only affects copying text from the viewer - not the programmatic extraction of text or setting selection.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIgeUEiEimg

ae.pdf The use case: Extract text using IPXC_Page.GetText(null).GetChars(nFirstCharIndex, nCharsCount) Do something with the extracted text (in this case parse the text and determine a word to highlight). Highlight the word using the following code: IPXV_TextSelection textSelection = (IPXV_TextSele...

Got it

Alright, I assume the corresponding SDK operation to optimize a document is this one: https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... t_optimize, yes?

Are you using Debug or Release version of the FullDemo application (the processing time can drastically differ)? Can that behavior be recreated in the End-User Editor? Release version and yes: https://youtu.be/phavV92jZVc It may be worth pointing out that there is a large amount of layers in the PD...

A customer contacted our support claiming that the our PDF viewer (using the Editor SDK) is freezing unexpectedly - after some debugging it turns out it's just working on extracting/replacing pages and it takes a long time. I was able to reproduce this behaviour in the sample full demo (using the la...

Cool, looking forward to that

Alright, sounds good.

When can we expect the changes to be released in a production build?

1) Ah, I can now call GetCaretPos() on the IPXV_TextSelection I obtain in my GetCaretPosition() code sample - great! 2) Ok, so to confirm: The line/character indices and counts that GetCaretPos()/SetCaretPos() work with are identical to the ones that can be obtained in: var pageText = doc // IPXV_Do...

Just tested this - a few questions: Is it correctly understood that it is not possible to get caret position ("all values will be -1") unless caret position has been set programmatically first? If so, it's sort of handicapped in that I would like to be able to get the caret position at an ...

Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out.

Will there be a GetCaretPos method as well?

Any update on this?

Would be nice to know, even if it's just not possible with the current SDK.

Unfortunately, that does not work with zero-width selection (which is how many application often treat a caret). That's what I meant when I said IPXV_TextSelection / IPXV_PageTextSelection are not applicable. Here's my sample code if you would like to reproduce: public static void SelectText(IPXV_Do...

Hello Stefan,

Yes, that is the caret I am referring to - but I was hoping for a programmatic approach

When the text selection tool is enabled it is possible to place a caret in the document view. Is it possible to get/set the position of this caret? Just to avoid potential confusion, I'm not talking about text selection here - which means IPXV_TextSelection / IPXV_PageTextSelection aren't applicable...

What you can do is just save the document and try opening it - if your changes will be there - then we'll can talk about the events firing. If there won't be any changes that you have made - then you have not modified the document as you needed to. Currently we're using iTextSharp to add optional c...

I see my mistake now. I had previously tried to use MC_GetDict() , but on the following PXC_CIType.CIT_Text rather than the PXC_CIType.CIT_BeginContainer . The example you provided is exactly what I was looking for. I've written a method to hide OC by name using your approach: public void HideOCByNa...

Thank you for the example! I will check test it when the 323 build is out. I've asked "How can I extract the ID from the IPXC_ContentItem", which was ignored because my provided (first) PDF sample doesn't have any OCProperties (which is completely unrelated to that question). If you mean t...

In that case, my previous request still stands then: I would just like to know how to properly use the method? The documentation at https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:IPXC_OCContext_SetOCState isn't particularly helpful, nor do I see any uses of it in https://github.com/tracker-software/PDFEdi...

Sasha - Tracker Dev Team wrote:Well, I've been investigating throughout the code - right now the only way to handle this correctly is by using the JS.

Should I interpret this as "SetOCState() is bugged" or should your answer be read as a response to my original question?

But it doesn't seem to do anything even with the second sample PDF I provided (which has OCProperties and layers that can also be viewed and shown/hidden in the PDF-XChange Editor application). In the case of the second sample PDF, how should it be used to show/hide those OCGs? Does it even affect a...

Then why is the method even there? I assume it does something, yes? Can you provide a use case for it?

Ok. 1. Can you provide an example of how updating something in the Structures Layer can be reflected in the Editor Layer so the changes are visible to the user? I've attached a sample PDF with layers and OCProperties defined in the Root dictionary and tried to run my HideOC() method (now with lock/u...

Hello Woodgnome, Can you give us a sample document that we can test on? Cheers, Alex See attachment.

I updated the HideOC() method from my original post with code to trigger the e.OCG.visibilityChanged event: public void HideOC(IPXV_Document doc) { // Get pages from structure layer IPXS_PDFVariant pages = doc.CoreDoc.CosDocument.Root.Dict_Get("Pages").Dict_Get("Kids"); // Loop t...

So, to update the rendering of the document I figured out I can close and re-open the core document: IPXC_Document doc = AxPXV_Control.Doc.CodeDoc; AxPXV_Control.Doc.Close(); AxPXV_Control.OpenDocFrom(doc); This seems to work if I am modifying IPXC_ContentItem s, for example: public void HideAllText...

Using IPXC_OCContext.SetOCState() to hide Optional Content as follows: public void HideOC(IPXV_Document doc) { // Get pages from structure layer IPXS_PDFVariant pages = doc.CoreDoc.CosDocument.Root.Dict_Get("Pages").Dict_Get("Kids"); // Loop through pages for (uint i = 0; i < pag...
