PDF flickers if you set some properties

[Cooperson]

Hi,

I am using the .NET PDF Creator (acPDFCreatorLib.Net.dll and acPDFCreator.Net.dll; Version 4.5.2.9).

If you set one of this property the PDF flickers

.Document.MinimumGap = 0;
.Document.ScaleToWindow = IacScaleType.acScaleHorizontal;
.Document.ZoomFactor = 70;

If you combine some properties, you get flickering for each property. And the function Open(ex) set the ZoomFactor always to the default value (140 %).

Is it possible to prevent flickering or drawing the PDF until the properties are assigned.

I tried the current 5 Version. In this version the ZoomFactor do not change if you call the Open(ex) function; one flicker less.


Best regards

Hi,

I suggest that you look at the AutoRefresh() property of the document object.

In the code snippet below the screen is only refreshed after the object is created. I believe this is what you are looking for.

Code: Select all

private int pdfCreator2_FireMouseUp(object sender, IacEventArgs e)
{
    endX = e.x;
    endY = e.y;


    //AutoRefresh
    //When set to True, the control is refreshed each time a property is modified.

    //do not refresh control
    pdfCreator2.Document.AutoRefresh = false;

    //Create highlight object
    using (Amyuni.PDFCreator.IacObject oPDF = pdfCreator2.Document.GetPage(1).CreateObject(IacObjectType.acObjectTypeHighlight, "ObjectTypeHighlight"))
    {
        oPDF.AttributeByName("Highlight Left").Value = startX;
        oPDF.AttributeByName("Highlight Top").Value = startY;
        oPDF.AttributeByName("Highlight Right").Value = endX;
        oPDF.AttributeByName("Highlight Bottom").Value = endY;  
        oPDF.AttributeByName("BackColor").Value = 192;
    }


    pdfCreator2.Refresh();  
    //refresh control     
    pdfCreator2.Document.AutoRefresh = true;
    return 0;
}

Thanks

Hi Jose,
