Subject: Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] PDF thumbnail display
On approximately 5/31/2007 9:30 PM, came the following characters from the
keyboard of pcourterelle:
Is it possible to display a thumbnail or preview from a PDF using
Win32:GUI? PDF is not supported by the DIBitmap package so I thought I'd
ask, see if something was in development or other avenues exist.
Thanks
Phil Courterelle
Yes, it is possible to do the display using Win32::GUI. But, as you
discovered, not the reading of the PDF file. Consider using Image::Magick
as a general image manipulation tool, convert the image into a local BMP
blob, and then display it using Win32::GUI. That's what I do.
Glen...thanks....I was thinking I would have to convert it to a bmp or jpeg
or something before displaying...thanks for the confirmation and the
suggestion...most appreciated.
Phil
