Hi is there a way to determine the total length of the document?
I am trying to create my own adobe like vertical scroll bar so I can scroll to a particular page.

Hello,

You can determin the number of pages in the document and if you know the length of eah page you calculate the lenght of the document.

I believe that what you are trying to do is going to be added to version 3.0 of the PDF Creator, for confirmation please contact support@amyuni.com

Hope this helps

I could get the length of a page and multiply by the number of pages, but in general each page could have it's own length no? I tried loading page by page in order to add up all the correct individual page lengths but was unsuccessful in getting this to work.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Do you have a release date for the next update?

Hello,

In this case, the only way to do it is to loop throught the pages and add the length of each one to get the total ength at the end.

We expect our new version to be ready end of January

do you have an example of doing this?

Hello,

Here is a VB sample on looping throught the pages of a pdf file and adding the length of each page.

This sample uses an instance of the PDF Creatror added to the VB form and called PDFCreactiveX1.

Code: Select all

Private Sub Command6_Click()

Dim lLength, ltotalLength As Long
Dim i As Integer

PDFCreactiveX1.Open "C:\Temp\test3.pdf", ""

For i = 1 To PDFCreactiveX1.PageCount
    lLength = PDFCreactiveX1.ObjectAttribute("Pages[1]", "Length")
    ltotalLength = ltotalLength + lLength
Next

MsgBox ltotalLength

End Sub
