WinForm PDF viewer with programatic search functionality
- by Anthony Shaw
We are currently using PDFTron's PDFView WinForm control to view PDF's in a WinForm application. I can load the file and search the file to highlight a certain text value. We have run into an issue where we have expired our trial license period and do not wish to shell out the $900/seat licensing on 15-20 computers.
Does anybody know if the ActiveX Adobe Reader control can support the searching functionality programatically? I've tried that and the FoxIt Reader OCX control and neither seem to have this feature exposed (unless it's hidden really well)
Does anybody have any suggestions for other freeware/open source viewers, or less-expensive viewers?
TIA!
