I hope that poppler becomes a standard part of Qt/pytqt so that all of Leo's users can use it without fuss.

Re: View for pdf?
Hi Kent, On Jul 25, 4:27 pm, Kent Tenney kten...@gmail.com wrote: - use (for example) pdfminer to pull text from the pdf, it's pdf2text script will do a page split. This results in plain text which has lots of advantages over rendered pages. I used pdftotext -layout for this, but within Leo a python module makes of course more sense, even if it is much slower. I really want rendered PDF pages, however, because of tables, images etc, which and PDF to text conversion cannot handle properly. Maybe the OpenOffice (LibreOffice) Python bindings could help. OO has great pdf capability. Under Debian/Ubuntu the binding between Python and OO is simply done by the uno module, but at least on Windows you need to run the Python that comes with OOo - other distributions won't work. Since it is a pain to convert the OOo Python to be used as the system Python, this practically limits such a solution to Linux. It may also work on the Mac, but a colleague had lots of problems finding the right combination of Python, uno module and OOo, as the uno module did not get distributed with OOo regularly. Even if you could control OOo from Leo, this would not give you a PDF viewer within Leo. Also, I think a solution based on the poppler library has a better chance to cover also upcoming versions of PDF, as it seems to be well supported and is the basis of several viewers. So, I find it would probably best to look into the Qt widget you mentioned. - Josef -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups leo-editor group.

Re: View for pdf?
Being able to view a PDF from within Leo would be nice, even more so, if it allows displaying a particular page, as I tend to collect lots of references to specific PDF pages. It should allow such references to work cross-platform. Different external viewers Acrobat, Evince, Okular, xpdf etc. all use a different syntax for selecting a particular page, which makes it difficult to write page references in a platform independent way when using external viewers. Spinning this idea a bit further: such a PDF viewer could then possibly also display the PDF output of @rst nodes, or (pdf-)latex files. I also would be delighted to see Leo as a better TeX editor. TeXworks does a great job at synchronizing the PDF view with the LaTeX source - I wish Leo would have similar LaTeX support. - Josef On Jul 21, 8:54 pm, Kent Tenney kten...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 12:41 PM, Terry Brown terry_n_br...@yahoo.com wrote: On Thu, 21 Jul 2011 12:36:14 -0500 Kent Tenney kten...@gmail.com wrote: I don't have in inkling as to the magic which renders views of stuff like videos, could it be convinced to show content of a pdf?

Howdy, I don't have in inkling as to the magic which renders views of stuff like videos, could it be convinced to show content of a pdf? I have lots of pdf's with content of interest.
