Hi,

I just downloaded the ActiveX control for eval and noticed that it doesn't allow entry of data into PDF forms. The reader does, so I'm bit confused. Is this a feature that's locked by the eval version?

The API offers a PrintFile for printing via the Windows print dialog. However, it would be nice to also offer a print method that requires no interaction with the user, similiar to what is offered by the Adobe AxAcroPDF control.

Are any of these features offered through the DLL interface?

Thanks

Hi remays,

Our current version of ActiveX doesn't support form filling.
However, we are in the process of developing a more powerful ActiveX which does support form filling and annotation by end-users. It will also expose the programatic interface of form filling and annotation.

This new powerful ActiveX will also include the new feature of silent-printing.
This ActiveX will probably be released at the beginning of next year.
