Need PDF viewer control - tried a lot

JubbaJubba picture JubbaJubba · Jul 8, 2010 · Viewed 13.4k times · Source

I'm looking for a component to view and print PDF files from Delphi/C++Builder. Delphi or ActiveX, not .NET. The license must be for royalty free distribution and the viewer must not require Adobe Reader to be installed.

So far I have tried:

Gnostice PDFtoolkit: Display problems with JPX images

Radaee PDF Viewer: Fast rendering, but crashes. NO reply from support.

VeryPDF: Slow rendering, but reliable. No printing

WPViewPDF: Messed up layout of most PDFs

GdViewer: No continuous multi-page display

QuickPDF library: No continuous multi-page display

eXPert PDF Viewer: Use not allowed for generic PDF viewer. NO reply from support.

EasyPDF SDK: No continuous multi-page display

DynamicPDF: No royalty-free license

Foxit PDF SDK: No royalty-free license

3-Heights PDF Viewer: No royalty-free license

Any other options?

Regards, Brian

For this scenario I recommend Amyuni PDF Creator ActiveX. As stated in the website:

The application license allows for royalty-free distribution of your application.

Additionally, it supports JPX images, continuous multi-page display and many other features.
