Syntax
showpdf( resname, pagenum, width, height )
Argument
resname — String value containing either the name of the PDF resource within the document, or the path
to a PDF file .
pagenum — Integer value specifying the page number within the PDF image resource.
width, height — Measure values specifying the width/height, in inches, the PDF page occupies when it
displays. Specifying a value of zero for one but not both of the two dimensions scales the PDF page to fit
the non-zero dimension. Specifying both a width and a height scales the PDF page to the best fit possible
with that width and height, while maintaining its aspect ratio. Specifying both a width and a height of zero
displays the PDF page at its default resolution.
Code Sample Example
This example displays page 5 of the PDF image resource ’new_models’, at its default resolution.
Example
showpdf('new_models', 5, 0, 0)
