Get Methods and Properties of PDF file
« on: November 06, 2019, 05:40:48 AM »
Hello everyone.

How can I dump a PDF file to know the available methods and properties with getfiled function?

Code: [Select]
(setq pdf (getfiled "" "" "pdf" 16))

I have seen the below function to create a PDF object but it returns nil for me.

Code: [Select]
(setq obj (vlax-get-or-create-object "AcroExch.PDDoc"))

Thank you in advance.

I need to get the number of pages / sheets of the selected PDF file.

Is this possible?

This is pretty old now, but may still work.

You need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader or Pro/DC to have access to "AcroExch.PDDoc"
