ABPdfBox

What is ABPdfBox?

 

[alwaysbusy]

Ignore The print lib I wrote. Damn things go fast...

ABPdbox is not an ABMComponent, just an extra lib to print pdf files.

I need to show pdf files in dialog or modal box (but no in page)

ABPdfBox description says:
"With this library you can print PDF files (either by showing a dialogbox or directly to a specified printer)."


ABPdfBox could display a pdf in a dialogbox ? If yes, then is it possible a image? pls

No, it does not show anything. It is de print dialog box (where you select your printer, number op copies etc)

You want to use the ABMPdfViewer.

I suppose you can add it to a modal dialod? I have not tried (or needed to).

It should work in a modal sheet. It is a heavy component that uses an iframe to show the pdf so it may give some trouble. If it doesn't work in a modal sheet, please feed the feedback monkey.

I'll try after ABMPdfViewer in modal sheet.

Thks to both.

 

[amminf]
