Locking the pdf file on Open
Locking the pdf file on Open
Is there any way to put the ActiveX control in a "preview" type mode where it doesn't lock write access to the the files it opens? For example, I would like to be able to show a pdf file without keeping other programs from modifying that same file. Any thoughts?
Hello,
Unfortunately, there is no way to put the ActiveX control in "Preview" mode.
When opening a PDF file we do not load all the file in memory unless it is needed so if a file is large it will not take memory unecessarly, this is why the file should be locked when opened by an application.
As I know, the "Preview" mode idea is not available neither in Adobe Reader nor in any Windows application (Word or Excel by example).
