Load PDF from File

PDF Xpress™ supports opening a PDF document from the local file system.

To load a PDF document using PDF Xpress, call the OpenDocument method or OpenDocumentEx method.

PDF Xpress does not directly support remote file communication protocols, such as HTTP and FTP, to load PDF files.

PDF Xpress can load any well-formed PDF up to PDF version 1.7.
