PDF Display Offset

[paul_cardinale]

The attached VI displays a .PDF file in an Active-X control.

If the Windows display setting scale is set to 100%, it seems to work fine.

But if it's set to something other than 100%, then the first time a .pdf is displayed, it will be offset.

Subsequent loads will be OK.

I've got a kludgy workaround that loads the file twice on the first pass.  Is there a better way to get this Active-X control to set its origin correctly?

Also, is there a way for a VI to determine what the display scaling is?

Hello,

If your application need not be scaled based on Windows scale, then try out the steps in the following KB, https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z0000004A7eSAE&l=en-IN

With this update your VI works fine without loading twice even for the first time.

Thanks,
