Hey, it's your lucky day! I just posted that to the wiki:
http://cairographics.org//quickframework/
Right, right, I've seen this example...my question doesn't lie in that
per se, but how to render a pdf inside a gtk.DrawingArea (or any other
suitable widget for that matter). In the above example, when you call
self.window.cairo_create() you're calling a method from superclass
gtk.gdk.Drawable. This method returns a pangocairo.CairoContext(), which
uses a pango.Context as the "context" instead of a cairo.Context.
Basically I haven't been able to find a way to use a cairo context
instead of a pango one to render a pdf document inside a gtk widget. I'm
starting to believe it's not possible with the current API?
Also, I know there are the python poppler bindings in their infancy in
launchpad, but unfortunately i'm stuck running feisty I'm fairly sure
they're for gutsy.
