Overview

Foxit PDF SDK ActiveX is a visual programming component that offers PDF displaying

capability with lowest resource demand and redistribution size. It can be easily integrated

into a wide range of applications.

Foxit PDF SDK ActiveX uses the same parsing and rendering engine as Foxit Reader.

Therefore it can display PDF files with the same high quality and fast speed as Foxit

Reader.

The ActiveX version is much easier to use and has much more features built inside. A

programmer can simply drag and drop the component into their application and instantly

add PDF displaying functionality. In addition, the ActiveX allows users to navigate, zoom,

rotate, scroll and print out PDF documents.

From version 5.0, ActiveX incorporates Signature Module and many advanced PDF

features. It allows developers to enable their applications to digitally sign PDF documents

using third-party digital certificates located in the Windows system certificate store. It also

supports digital signature verification (which authenticates the source and verifies the

integrity of content of digitally signed PDF documents), signature timestamp, signature

print control, and more.

Foxit offers two versions of ActiveX – standard version and professional version, which

are provided with different GUID numbers that allows you to register both versions onto

the same computer and access them with their own GUID. Compared with the

professional version, the standard version doesn’t include the following features:

creating/editing annotation, importing/exporting form data, running JavaScript, converting

PDF to text, Digital Signature, etc. Based on your requirements you are able to pick and

choose which ActiveX version would be best for your application. You can purchase either

the standard or professional version online. For the Form, Annotation, and Signature

Module, please contact at sales@foxitsoftware.com for licensing details. In this

developer’s guide, all the properties and functions marked with an asterisk (*) are

available only in the professional version, all the properties and functions marked with a

hash sign (#) are available only in the Form Module, all the properties and functions

marked with a caret (^) are available only in the Annotation Module, and the properties

and functions marked with an ampersand (&) are only available in Signature Module.

Foxit PDF SDK ActiveX runs on Windows XP or later. This is a standalone component and

Programming Guide

does not require any extra PDF software installed. Please note a user might need to have

administrator rights to register the ActiveX under Windows successfully.

ActiveX 5.0 adds many new interfaces to support PDF Signature, which allow users to add,

delete, and print Signature in their PDF documents. The Signature Module is licensed

separately from ActiveX 5.0 Professional. If you would like to use this module, please

UNLOCK Code: If you have purchased Foxit PDF SDK ActiveX and received the full

version of the ActiveX and the unlock code, you should call UnLockActiveX or

UnLockActiveXEx functions once inside your program before you call ANY other functions

of the ActiveX. This function is described in the Reference section. You don’t need to call

this function if you just want to evaluate the ActiveX.

GUID for standard version: 0F6C092B-6E4C-4976-B386-27A9FD9E96A1

GUID for professional version: F53B7748-643C-4A78-8DBC-01A4855D1A10

Tutorials

The Foxit SDK ActiveX Control comes with a single OCX file. To install it, please use

command "regsvr32 OCX name". You may need to specify the proper path if OCX is not

stored in current directory.

The ActiveX Control handles user interface for you. It also supplies multiple properties and

methods so that your application is able to control the ActiveX.

The following is an example, suppose we had already created an ActiveX Control called

FoxitReaderSDK.

Std & Pro Version

1. Open a PDF File

We will open a PDF document named “testdoc.pdf”

// NOTE: If you are evaluating ActiveX, you don’t need to unlock it,

// then evaluation marks will be shown on all PDF pages.

// For paid customers, please unlock the ActiveX first.

FoxitReaderSDK.UnLockActiveX(“license_id”,”unlock_code”);

FoxitReaderSDK.OpenFile(“testdoc.pdf”,””);

2. Go to a specific page

We will go to the third page of the document

FoxitReaderSDK.GoToPage(2). //The index of first page is 0.

3. Zoom a page

If you want to show a PDF page with its original size, you can use the following

code in VC:

FoxitReaderSDK.SetZoomLevel(0);

FoxitReaderSDK. SetZoomLevel(100);

Programming Guide

If you want to set the zoom factor to 200%, use the following code:

FoxitReaderSDK. SetZoomLevel(200);

For more information, see Function Reference section of this guide.

4. Rotate a page

A PDF page can be displayed in four directions: upright, rotated 90 degree,

rotated 180 degree, or rotated 270 degree. To display it in different direction, you

only need to call “SetRotate” () to change the Rotate property.

If you want to rotate the page (90 degrees) clockwise, you can use the following

code in VC:

FoxitReaderSDK. SetRotate(1);

5. Print a PDF document

What you need to do is call “PrintWithDialog” method, a print dialog will pop up

and you will be able to specify parameters and then print out the PDF document.

If you want to print without popping up a dialog, you need to use the IPDFPrinter

interface.

6. Hide or show UI elements

You can call “ShowToolBar” to show or hide the toolbar. Likewise, you may call

“ShowStatusBar” to show or hide the status bar. If you prefer to build your own

toolbar, you may hide the built-in ActiveX toolbar and then create your own

outside the ActiveX.

7. Iterate the whole outline tree

You can call “GetOutlineFirstChild” or “GetOutlineNextSibling” to iterate the

whole outline tree, allowing you to view the outline information from IPDFOutline

Interface.

8. Search a PDF document

You can call “FindFirst” to find the first instance of the given text in the whole

document. If no occurrence is found, then the function returns 0. If an occurrence
