Thanks JCH! We hope to make a few more improvements before the 7.25 official release.

Has the function “SetFormFieldSubmitAction() ” or something similar been implemented?

It would be better to add incremental update in SaveToFile.

Rowan,
Any plans to release a lightweight viewer as part of the library?

Hi Gary,
Yes, we’re putting the finishing touches on Quick PDF Viewer ActiveX. It is looking pretty good. I think we’ll be able to release it just after 7.25 has been released early next week. We have done the back-end and front-end, now we just need to stitch them together.
I will contact you as soon as we have something that you can test.
Cheers,
– Rowan.

Hi Marshall,
SetFormFieldSubmitAction has been added in the latest internal Quick PDF Library build and will be released with the final version of 7.25 next week.
Cheers,
– Rowan.

First I’d like to say, a great product.
Can we get TIFF (or other format) resolution/dpi tags fixed so if we save at 200 dpi, the tags are set correctly to show 200 dpi?
