DynamicPDF Viewer for .NET (v1) Forum

Here is a issue we are currently facing with v1.X
We have a PDF file displayed inside the viewer using the pdfViewer1.Open() method

After a PDF file is updated outside the viewer, is there a way to let the viewer pick up the changes without calling Open()?
Because calling Open() causes the entire viewer to flicker

Thanks

Hello,

The PDF updated outside the Viewer has to be reopened and calling the Open() method is the only way to reopen the PDF. When the Open() method is called the Viewer control will refresh or flicker which is expected as it has to load the updated PDF.

Thanks,

You could try turning off visibility of the viewer momentarily:

PDFView.Visible = False
PDFView.Open(myfile.pdf)
PDFView.Visible = True

All times are US Eastern Standard time. The time now is 8:35 PM.
