pdf viewer

[jds]

can anyone tell me a simple way to show/view a pdf file from within a windows program
my earlier way with Sumatrapdf.exe don't work anymore (in windows 7?)

[jds]

my earlier simple way of viewing was for exemple :
WINEXEC("Sumatrapdf.exe test.pdf)

[Antonio Linares]

Try using:

ShellExecute( ,"open", "test.pdf",,,1 )

Antonio,
Thanks for your fast support but it does not work with Shellexecute()
Should there be an other small pdf viewer that works (since 10 years) like Sumatrapdf
I think the actual Sumatra version is not (yet) compatible with Win 7 or 8
Gracias por su ayuda

Code: Select all

   NFEVisualSUM := "C:\NFEPDF\"+"CCE"+ALLTRIM( STR( nNumNfeSUM ) )+".PDF"

   // LANG = LANGUAGE
   WinExec( cDirExe+"sumatra\sumatrapdf.exe -reuse-instance -lang pt "+NFEVisualSUM)   //-restrict -fullscreen

It's still work for me even Windows 10.

You can open any PDF using Chrome, so if Chrome is installed then it can be used as a PDF viewer

Hallo pdf viewers
My old easy way of pdf viewing with sumatrapdf.exe (version 2.2. and later) works (again) by deleting the Adobe Acrobat reader program so that sumatrapdf.exe becomes the default pdf reader
the code is simply: WINEXEC("sumatraPDF.exe ...\test.pdf")
Kind regards and a Sunny WE
