Is it possible to open multiple copies of the same file?

Is it possible to open multiple copies of the same file without us making a copy of the file to a temporary file and opening it from there?

I realize if possible the other copies would be read only but we have a client who wants to open say 10 tabs of the same file.

Hello RMan,

Try tight clicking the document's tab - there is a Duplicate command.

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks. So close but they want to do different markups on all of the copies then print them out and I guess not save them.

Hello RMan,

Try opening two IPXC_Documents and then open them with the Control:

Code: Select all

IPXC_Document doc1 = pxcInst.OpenDocumentFromFile(@"D:\TestFile.pdf", null);
IPXC_Document doc2 = pxcInst.OpenDocumentFromFile(@"D:\TestFile.pdf", null);
pdfCtl.OpenDocFrom(doc1);
pdfCtl.OpenDocFrom(doc2);
Cheers,
Alex
