using ActiveX - Open PDF files residing on the server

mikimiki30 · Post by **mikimiki30** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 6:49 am

Greetings,
I have a query regarding PDF-XChange Viewer SDK ActiveX.
I am able to view the client PDF only if I provide the full qualified path of PDF file.
But I am unable to workout a HTML page with embedded ActiveX which will open up the PDF files residing on the server.

So, If I want to open uo the PDF file on my "http://localhost/temp/test123.pdf", what should I use??

Here is the code I am using-

Code: Select all

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>New Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
    <OBJECT ID="oPDF" NAME="oPDF" WIDTH=867 HEIGHT=588 
 CLASSID="CLSID:FE36F0F3-F082-41B7-9EED-772505A7C054"
</OBJECT> 
    <INPUT TYPE=button VALUE="Click Me" ONCLICK="oPDF.OpenDocument('C:\temp\abc.pdf'); return false;"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>

For now the viewer doesn't support opening PDF files from URLs.

Opening PDF file by the URL is supported now into build 0025 of the viewer which should be available soon.

P.S. Please note that there is an error into your HTML code -- OBJECT tag isn't closed.
