Hello Hartmut,

Indeed, Envision's pdf support is limited to simple PDF files that have a single embedded graphic. Generally files created by Envision.

The only way of telling is to try and load the file, and catch an exception if the file is a complex postscript file.


Best regards,

Michel



Best regards,
