I have a problem with certain PDF files in WPViewPDF 4.0. The PDF's contain dashed lines which are displayed and printed by WPViewPDF as solid lines. The problem can be reproduced by creating a Word document in Word 365, adding a basic rectangle shape and settings its linetype to dashed. Then save the document in PDF format. The PDF will contain the dashed shape as can be verified by opening it with the Adobe reader. But when it is shown by the WPViewPDF viewer the line is displayed as a solid line. If that same word document is printed by a PDF printer, the dashed lines do show up in the WPViewPDF preview. Is there some kind of setting that I can change to enforce display of dashed lines?

PDF lines can use a special parameter array to define lines and gaps. WPViewPDF 4 does not use that array.
Dashed Lines which are rendered using single line segments will work fine.

Are there plans to build in support for this parameter array? One of my applications involve technical drawings where it is crucial to support dashed lines. Unfortunately, it is not an option to have the software changed that generates these pdf files.

dash parameter arrays and patters are planned for version 5 of WPViewPDF.
