How do I save changes to a PDF with AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF?

[justlearning@adobeforums.com]

I am using C# and have created a regular Windows form. I have used COM and registered AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. Here is my code;

axAcroPDF1.LoadFile("myfile.pdf")
axAcroPDF1.Show();
MessageBox.Show("Showing...");

This works fine. But, just like the browser, I cannot save changes to the PDF. I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat installed, Standard 8.0. I also have the Pro. version 7.1.0 on another PC. When I click save I just get prompted to save it locally, just like I was in the browser.

If I edit these normally, just via Adobe Acrobat Standard, I can save my changes. I cannot do it via the AxAcroPDFLib library.

How do I save changes to my adobe acrobat pdf file in my program? Thank you for any help. please.

You can't.

The ActiveX control that you are using is designed for viewing purposes only and not for PDF manipulation, etc.

If you wish to view AND edit - look at the COM APIs that are documented in the Acrobat SDK.

I did this after I wrote this. I have looked at the documentation but I can't find what I am looking for. Is there another way to open a file for viewing that has the full capabilities or using the normal program...one that uses something besides AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF. The sample that did have a view used AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF so it wasn't helpful. All I need is normal program functionality of adobe standard or profession within the application. The users have a full version installed on their PC.

Thanks again.

Look at the ActiveView sample.
