Yes, thanks, I know. Although this project is for Windows only, as it’s for an intranet running off Citrix and Windows Remote Desktops.
I’ll see if I can whip up an example app using several methods and the plug-ins there might be in demo mode running off the IDE, to try and get some benchmarks. I imagine in reality this specific requirement (fast display of PDFs understandable hasn’t been a priority for people in the forums so far).
[quote=368277:@Jeff Tullin]Well it certainly has something: when I open an Explorer window, and set the mode to have a preview pane, clicking on a PDF displays the content in the panel.
Whether you can embed that functionality into an OLEObject or you could use an ActiveX control:

You would need to open the actual file in something if you wanted to edit it, of course.
Cant speak for the speed as I have no use for these myself.[/quote]
Thanks. I’ll check the ActiveX controls. The Windows built-in PDF previewer seems to be WinRT only, so I’m not sure Xojo apps can access it.
I have no problem using a different tool for editing (since the only “editing” we will ever do is add a watermark/stamp and save as new PDF, which is pretty basic as far as PDF editing goes).
Thanks to everyone for the response so far!
