Autodesk DWF Viewer

[#1]

The API in 3.1 is looking good!

Can we get the ability to add text and merge dwf in the next version?

Thanks,

Bob

Thanks for the feedback. The Express Viewer is intended to be a pure
viewer, and as such is slated to remain read-only. No authoring-type
functionality like you describe is planned for the free viewer at this time.
Merging dwfs can be done offline using a sample app provided in the DWF 6
toolkit.

Thanks for your quick response.

I was thinking of merging two dwfs and not saving the result, so the actual
files wouldn't change. I use mergedwf in Whip! now.

Do I need to know C++ to use the sample in the toolkit? I only know VB.

The sample should build and you should be able to use it via the command
line. If you want it to work from within VB, then you'll either have to
shell out to a system call, or create a C++ COM wrapper around it.

One more "wish" item. This has been mentioned before, and I think it is
really important so here it is again.

The "SimplePrint" method is a life saver for me. However, it needs one more
parameter; the ability to set the print orientation.

I can't think of one of my users who wants their drawing print to be
portrait; they want a drawing to print landscape. The problem is they have
their printer orientation set to portrait and they don't want to have to set
it to landscape to print a dwf, and then set it back to portrait for their
other applications.

I notice that when the standard View Express print dialog box is invoked, it
automatically sets the print orientation to landscape.

Please, please add this parameter to the SimplePrint method.
