Hi all,
I have a question about coordinate system of the PDF documents. I know it's bottom-left based like a normal math coordinate system and stuff, but I'd like to know if there's a way to get the current page width/height using PDF XChange ActiveX Viewer.

As far as I've seen up to now, there's no way, not even using JavaScript calls.
Am I wrong? Any help appreciated, thanks.

The PDF-XChange Viewer ActiveX SDK Help contain sample for get width of first page:

Code: Select all

...
DoVerb("Documents[#4095].Pages[0].Width", "get",
 DataIn, DataOut, 0);
// or:
GetProperty("Documents[#4095].Pages[0].Width", DataOut, 0);
// or:
GetDocumentProperty(4095, "Pages[0].Width", DataOut, 0);
...

You can find it at page #161 of Reference

Hi, Fabrizio.

Please note: the pdf-page can be rotated in 90, 180, 270 degrees, also end-user may use 'Rotate View' feature that rotates all pages additionally.
Pages[x].Width, Pages[x].Height - returns width/height in points (1/72 inch) of normal, non-rotated page.
You may look also for methods: Pages[x].PagePointsToViewPoints and Pages[x].ViewPointsToPagePoints.

HTH.
