I have to display a PDF inside a winform (c# on .net 2.0 framework). For now, I am using the ActiveX PDF control provided by Adobe. I have to disable the entire control so that a user can’t print or save via right-click or hotkeys. Unfortunately, many of the documents need to be rotated (just viewed, not permanently saved that way). I’d like to allow them to rotate the view by pressing a button control. I’ve tried enabling the control then programmatically sending the hotkeys (ctrl shift +) using SendKeys and SendInput but the timing issues make this a non-viable solution.
I’ve asked on the proper Adobe boards and they said it was not possible being that all of my clients will only have the reader version installed.
just rotate the control. put the control in a panel and rotate the panel or something.
