Ability to create bookmarks or notes

[mgrauman]

I am using the PDF-XChange Viewer ActiveX Control within an MS-Access program. Everything is working fine for viewing files. What I'm wondering is does this product allow for the setting of bookmarks or comments? When a user right-clicks the current file, those items are on the menu, but all grayed out (see below). Is there a setting I can change to turn on this functionality? I have looked through the documentation and see references to setting bookmarks programmatically, but I cannot find anything that would turn on the functionality for the user.

Thank you in advance for considering this question.

Hi mgrauman.

1. these menu-items require to have the selected text on the page.
2. the document may have security settings that deny commenting, bookmarking, etc. Check this o File/DocProps/Security dialog.

Thank you for the quick reply.

The PDFs in question are all scanned documents, so they are not text-based. However, your PDF Editor program allows a user to add a comment or a bookmark without highlighting text, on these PDFs. So are you saying that the Viewer SDK ActiveX control does not have that ability?

Hello mgrauman,

Adding comments or bookmarks is possible, but you explicitly asked for the Highlight Text commands - which won't work in the end user Viewer either with an image only based PDF file.

Kind regards,
Stefan
