Opening a PDF file with Skill

Geoff
Geoff over 16 years ago

Is there a way to open a PDF file from skill? (I am using windows XP)

In my Skill Program, I want to link layout notes (PDF) for certain components. That way I'll be able to know which parts need special attention.

    Yes you are correct,it can read only note pad.

    I acn suggest one more option,you can import " .bmp file " using some skill file.,then you do not require to capture the stack up etc...

    Hi, Geoff.

    Thanks for your nice sharing. But when it comes to pdf processing problem, I have a question to ask you. I wonder whether I need some 3rd party pdf text extraction toolkits to help me extract text from pdf files. If so, it will be better if itt offers free trial package for users to check. I will try it later and send you feedback.        

    Best regrads,

    Pan
