Re: WebBrowser Control: Embedding Acrobat Reader

[Petr Schreiber]

Hi José,

this is another fantastic example.
Just one problem - when I close program, AcroRd32.exe program still hangs in memory.
Is there any reason for this behavior? Of course, I can shoot the process programatically, but I though the ocx could do this job for me.

This is by design of Acrobat. It remains in memory in case you want to open further documents later on. It unloads itself after a long while.

And what if i setup ab to show pdf's outside the browser?

Hi José,

my problem with this behavior is that if application is launched from USB flashdisk, it cannot be unmounted until AcroRd32.exe is terminated.
Not sure if it is the same for CD/DVD ( I would like to have application with built in PDF launched from CD/DVD ).

There is nothing we can do about it. It is Acrobat Reader behavior when it is embeded.

I haven't tried it (yet) but maybe the SDK from Foxit could be useful to you for displaying PDF's, etc.
