PDF Display in a Dialog

Post by JRL » Fri Jul 26, 2024 2:23 pm

We can currently display BMPs, PNGs and JPGs within the image object of a Macro Scheduler dialog. I would find it very helpful to also be able to view PDFs in that image object.

I'm afraid since a PDF is not an image format it won't be possible to display one via an image object. So some other object/method would be required. We will investigate options.

Did you know we are now offering affordable monthly subscriptions for Macro Scheduler Standard?

Thank you :D
Looking forward to seeing the new object/method and what we can do with it.
