Class PDFViewCtrl

PDFViewCtrl is a utility class that can be used for interactive rendering of PDF documents. In .NET environment PDFViewCtrl is derived from System.Windows.Forms.Control and it can be used like a regular form (see PDFViewForm.cs in PDFView sample for C# for a concrete example). PDFViewCtrl is a control that implements a number of tool modes, dialog boxes like find and password, has some built-in form filling capabilities and a navigation panel for bookmarks, thumbview and layer views.

PDFView defines several coordinate spaces and it is important to understand their differences:

  • Page Space refers to the space in which a PDF page is defined. It is determined by a page itself and the origin is at the lower-left corner of the page. Note that Page Space is independent of how a page is viewed in PDFView and each page has its own Page space.

  • Canvas Space refers to the tightest axis-aligned bounding box of all the pages given the current page presentation mode in PDFView. For example, if the page presentation mode is e_single_continuous, all the pages are arranged vertically with one page in each row, and therefore the Canvas Space is rectangle with possibly large height value. For this reason, Canvas Space is also, like Page Space, independent of the zoom factor. Also note that since PDFView adds gaps between adjacent pages, the Canvas Space is larger than the space occupied by all the pages. The origin of the Canvas Space is located at the upper-left corner.

  • Screen Space (or Client Space) is the space occupied by PDFView and its origin is at the upper-left corner. Note that the virtual size of this space can extend beyond the visible region.

  • Scrollable Space is the virtual space within which PDFView can scroll. It is determined by the Canvas Space and the current zoom factor. Roughly speaking, the dimensions of the Scrollable Space is the dimensions of the Canvas Space timed by the zoom. Therefore, a large zoom factor will result in a larger Scrollable region given the same Canvas region. For this reason, Scrollable Space might also be referred to as Zoomed Canvas Space. Note that since PDFView adds gaps between pages in Canvas Space and these gaps are not scaled when rendered, the scrollable range is not exactly what the zoom factor times the Canvas range. For functions such as SetHScrollPos(), SetVScrollPos(), GetCanvasHeight(), and GetCanvasWidth(), it is the Scrollable Space that is involved.

SetZoom(double)

Sets the zoom factor to a new value. The function zooms to a point at the center of the rendering buffer.

Declaration
public bool SetZoom(double zoom)
Parameters
Type Name Description

Returns
Type Description

true if successful, false otherwise.

SetZoom(int, int, double)

Sets the zoom factor to a new value using the given pixel coordinate (x,y) as a zoom center, which will stay fixed on the screen. The zoom point (x,y) is represented in the screen coordinate system, which starts in the upper-left corner of the client window. Should you want to move (x, y) to the center of the client window, you can use the OnScroll() subsequently:

int x, y;
double zoom;
...
view.SetZoom(x, y, zoom);
int width = view.GetBufferWidth();
int height = view.GetBufferHeight();
int dx = (int)(x - (double)width/2 + 0.5);
int dy = (int)(y - (double)height/2 + 0.5);
view.OnScroll(dx, dy);
Declaration
public bool SetZoom(int x, int y, double zoom)
Parameters
Type Name Description

true if successful, false otherwise.

SetupThumbnails(bool, bool, bool, int, uint, double)

Enables or disables thumbnail view features. Thumbnail view is used before a PDF page is fully rendered. If runtime thumb view generation is enabled, PDFViewCtrl generates thumbnail views at runtime. If a PDF file already contains the thumbnail views, runtime thumb view generation can be turned off, which is more efficient.

It is recommended that this not be called after SetDoc in order to avoid clearing cached thumbnails. Calling this method with different parameters will also clear the persistent disk cache if it is in use.

If runtime thumb view generation is enabled, the thumbMaxSideLength will be used as a reference to calculate the thumbnail resolution.

Declaration
