Wordprocessing and PDF components
This is a powerful component to load and display and print PDF files. Multiple PDF files can be loaded in one viewer and be displayed as one.
Applications without powerful PDF support are unthinkable today, so many companies already relay on our powerful PDF creation engines wPDF and wPDFControl.
With WPViewPDF, we offer a powerful component for viewing, printing, and in the "PLUS" edition, modifying PDF files. Our WPViewPDF product provides a robust tool (for .NET and VCL for Delphi in a single package!) for displaying and manipulating PDFs directly within your application. The main PDF engine is compiled into a DLL, available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, allowing direct calls to DLL functions like pdfPrint and pdfMerge. This functionality extends to C++ and VB6 as well. To further support legacy VB6 applications, we have also included a 32-bit ActiveX interface in the WPViewPDF package.
Unlike some competing products, WPViewPDF can instantly display even large PDF files due to its multi-threaded architecture, without relying on a cache based on temporary files. It can render most PDF files, load multiple PDFs to be viewed as a single document, and add information prior to printing, such as page numbers or labels. WPViewPDF is designed primarily for printing reports and invoices, rather than CAD maps.
Additionally, WPViewPDF features an enhanced form-filling mode. Users can now navigate from field to field using the tab key, and the current field is highlighted. The status of checkboxes can be changed with the space key.
WPViewPDF also allows users to "flatten" PDF files, rendering annotations and fields directly into the page description. Users can select text to copy to the clipboard or create bitmap snapshots. The software includes an integrated thumbnail and bookmark view.
WPViewPDF also allows it to add highlight and frame annotations. With the black-text annotation the selected text will get a black background which makes it impossible to read it after it was printed. (The text is not deleted)
WPViewPDF PLUS does everything what the standard edition does but also SAVES PDF documents. It also does some additional "tricks".
WPViewPDF Version 5 is full backwards compatible to version 4.
With WPViewPDF you get in a single package
WPViewPDF is driven by different interface modules and the central engine DLLs which have been compiled with the latest compilers.
You can download a demo on this site - this demo includes the modules and executable demos.
If you have WPViewPDF PLUS, you can optionally license access to most of the source code on a yearly basis (12-month subscription). The source code allows you to compile Delphi applications without needing to include the WPViewPDFxxx.DLL. Products that manipulate PDFs or extract information (such as attachments) can then be distributed without any DLLs.
Please note that the source code license does not include CMYK JPEG and TIFF support. Additionally, the DLL interface and window subclassing are missing since the PDF engine is directly linked to the WPViewPDF component as a native VCL TPanel. Compiling requires Delphi 10.1 or later.
