ImagXpress® can be used in conjunction with PDF Xpress™ to display PDF pages. Assign bitmaps rendered using PDF Xpress to an ImagXpress object to leverage its image-viewing features.

To view a PDF document page:

Create a PdfDocument object for an existing PDF document.
Create a RenderOptions object to select an area of the PDF page and the target resolution.
Invoke RenderPageOptionsToDib to produce a DIB handle.
Assign the DIB handle to the ImagXpress property hDIB to view the rendered area in ImagXpress.
