We have been evaluating this OCX component for PDF viewing and manipulation and we have a few questions:
- will there be an option to edit ALL aspects of a PDF file? We seem to be able to handle text but not images with your component. At the very least will there be some functions to :
- identify an object's (x,y) coordinates
- identify an object's characteristics (type and possible links to other objects)
- modify and/or delete graphic objects that are visible within the PDF viewer
- improve the presentation of CMYK graphic objects that should be using ICC profiles (this is what Poppler - see the Sumatra component - does). Your component does not handle CMYK properly.
We also noted issues with respect to PDF files in :
- managing and not viewing Annotations: Comments, Paragraph annotations. Notes. Help, Insert, Key do not seem to be handled at all;
- Input fields do not seem to be managed. Think of an income tax form or some government form to complete as an example of usage of input fields.
Will there be any changes in the near future with respect to the above?
Thanks,
Claude
