PDFium Delphi Component help

Use this reference to find PDF viewing, document processing, rendering, form, annotation, print, search, metadata, attachment, and save APIs for Delphi and C++Builder applications — along with the PAdES signing, PDF 2.0 encryption, and six-standard validation layers PDFium Delphi Component implements in Object Pascal above the rendering engine.

Main components have a dedicated class reference here: TPdf for document operations and TPdfView for interactive viewing. Every public member of both has its own page, and TPdfThumbnailView is covered through the API reference.

TPdf Component

Load, create, inspect, edit, import, render, print, extract text, handle forms, manage annotations, and save PDF documents.

TPdf reference

TPdfView Component

Display PDF pages with zoom, rotation, scrolling, text selection, coordinate mapping, link handling, and visual customization.
