XpdfViewer™ Library

The XpdfViewer library provides a PDF file viewer component for use in Windows applications. XpdfViewer enables any Windows developer to add PDF viewing capability to their application. It provides the developer with full control over the PDF viewer - XpdfViewer fits into your GUI, not the other way around.

XpdfViewer features include:

  • support for PDF hyperlinks
  • text extraction
  • text find
  • region highlighting, including the ability to read highlight files generated by search engines
  • printing
  • CJK support - CJK fonts available for licensing

Using the XpdfViewer DLL is simple:

// create the window
HWND viewerWnd = CreateWindow("static", ...);

// attach a PDF viewer to the window
PDFViewerHandle viewer;
pdfCreateViewer(&viewer, viewerWnd);

// control the viewer
pdfLoadFile(viewer, "myFile.pdf");
...
pdfGotoNextPage(viewer);
...

XpdfViewer is also available as an ActiveX control.
