Does Aspose.PDF Provide a PDF Interface for Windows Forms?

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Howdy!

Apart from a forum post in 2011, I can’t find any questions about how to display and edit a PDF file in a Windows Form application. And, this 2011 forum discussion indicated the functionality didn’t exist at that time.

Does Aspose.PDF include functionality to display and edit a PDF file in a Windows Form application at this time? If not, what is the way aspose.pdf provides for editing?
Note: I checked the examples, but got lost in all the different examples. If there is a specific example in the github download, please point me to it.

Thanks,

Jess

Currently I haven’t heard about such functionality, the main focus of Aspose PDF is to work with PDF as backend library but I will clarify that with development team a bit later
At the moment could you describe what editing procedures do you need , just to fill fields or something more complex?
maybe we will find some workaround for that

I want to load a PDF file, view and edit it by adding highlights, and save the file. Another program will also use Aspose.PDF to read the saved file and do things based on the highlights.

Okay, first of all - Aspose PDF doesn’t have any direct ways to show and edit files
but i was suggested to check some of the solutions provided by development team
I’ll investigate them and write you as soon as possible

Unfortunately now there’s only some test projects that only work as previewers, not actual pdf editors
We’ll try to raise discussion about adding such product in future but for now you can only check for other pdf editors

Ok. For now, I’ll go the rout of highlighting in an external PDF viewer, and reading that with Aspose PDF for Net.

Thanks,

Jess
