Yes, this one intrigues me a lot since Adobe's Viewer is SLOW!. Mine kind of screams in comparison. Although, you also need the memory for it too or I have to start page swapping. Although, I have loaded up several thousand pages into my control on a 256MB machine without a problem. The images are always on the disk for now. I do need to optimize images more when you aren't scaling so I can draw them faster.

I guess I could end up becoming the control of choice over the PDF Viewer. Or I could just write an EXE version of the control. NAH! That wouldn't do me any good. However, the ActiveX version of a viewer would be nice. I would have to limit some of the viewing capabilities at first until I had time to add support for more of the features. I know they do Glyph Outlines for painting of most rotated text which I don't currently do on my output. I just use the Translation Commands in PDF. I am thinking of adding more of the annotation capabilities into the control though as well. I guess soon I'll have to make a Pro Version and a Standard Version so the price doesn't get too high as more stuff gets added to the control. <bg> I'm always coming up with new ideas.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks!
