Get Document Window

Aspose.PDF for .NET is a powerful PDF manipulation library that allows developers to create, edit, and convert PDF files in their .NET applications. One of the features offered by this library is the ability to retrieve information about a document’s window properties. This tutorial will guide you through the steps of using the GetDocumentWindow feature of Aspose.PDF for .NET to retrieve information about a PDF document’s window properties.

Step 1: Install Aspose.PDF for .NET

To use Aspose.PDF for .NET in your .NET applications, you must first install the library. You can download the latest version of the library from the Aspose.PDF for .NET download page.

Once you have downloaded the library, extract the contents of the ZIP file to a folder on your computer. You will then need to add a reference to the Aspose.PDF for .NET DLL in your .NET project.

Step 2: Load the PDF Document

Once you have installed Aspose.PDF for .NET and added a reference to the DLL in your .NET project, you can begin using the GetDocumentWindow feature to retrieve information about a PDF document’s window properties.

The first step in using this feature is to load the PDF document that you want to retrieve information about. To do this, you can use the following code:

// The path to the PDF document
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

// Open the PDF document
Document pdfDocument = new Document(dataDir + "GetDocumentWindow.pdf");

In the above code, replace "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY" with the path to the directory where your PDF document is located. This code will load the PDF document into a Document object, which you can then use to retrieve information about the document’s window properties.

Step 3: Retrieve the Document’s Window Properties

To retrieve information about a PDF document’s window properties, you can use the following code:

// Retrieve the document's window properties
Console.WriteLine("CenterWindow : {0}", pdfDocument.CenterWindow);
Console.WriteLine("Direction : {0}", pdfDocument.Direction);
Console.WriteLine("DisplayDocTitle : {0}", pdfDocument.DisplayDocTitle);
Console.WriteLine("FitWindow : {0}", pdfDocument.FitWindow);
Console.WriteLine("HideMenuBar : {0}", pdfDocument.HideMenubar);
Console.WriteLine("HideToolBar : {0}", pdfDocument.HideToolBar);
Console.WriteLine("HideWindowUI : {0}", pdfDocument.HideWindowUI);
Console.WriteLine("NonFullScreenPageMode : {0}", pdfDocument.NonFullScreenPageMode);
Console.WriteLine("PageLayout : {0}", pdfDocument.PageLayout);
Console.WriteLine("pageMode : {0}", pdfDocument.PageMode);

In the above code, each line retrieves a different window property of the PDF document and outputs it to the console. You can customize this code to retrieve only the properties that you are interested in.
