   Collapse AllThis method opens an existing PDF document, reads and parses its contents.
|
| HRESULT Open ( BSTR fileName, BSTR password ) |
Parameters
fileName
Path to the PDF document to be opened
password
String containing the password
Return value
If successful, this method returns S_OK. If it fails, this method should return one of the error values.
Remarks
This method clears all internal data before opening a document. If you want to save a previously created document, call SaveToFile or GetBuffer first.
When the document is opened, the current page will be the last page of
the existing PDF document.
When the document is opened, all of its properties (Author, Producer, Creator, Title, Subject and Keywords) are saved. You can change them later as needed.
