4D v18 is 750 MB. just over half of that size is taken by the embedded CEF web
area. So it would be a shame not to use it at all other than for the welcome
dialog.
my understanding is that the Chrome Embedded Framework is using the same PDF
renderer as Chrome, that is, PDFium, a Google edition
SOLVED! Thanks Keith.
I should have noticed your post before I replied… Yay! This works!
Thank you so much. It is perfect!
For testing (and FYI to anyone else who wants to know):
Created a FORM: named pdf_Viewer. Form.pdfURL [to store the path as
per file:/// …]
Added:
• web area: named
Used it for ages.
On Mac no magic required, works out of the box, on Windows you might need to
install Adobe Reader.
On newer windows systems (win 10) i thinks it works right out of the box, but
would have to verify...

That sounds like something I would really like to work. If the web area knew
what pdf renderer to use, it sounds like theoretically that should do it.
Anyone know of how to get it to work?

No one mentioned WA OPEN URL and a web area, which I thought would have been as
easy as WA OPEN URL(*;"wa";"Test.pdf"), but that only resulted in a blank area.
When I did get a pdf to open in the web area, all pages were available.
Is that different than what you are asking?

I would consider the two above to be your top choices.
I've posted a few convert-to-picture examples,
but it sounds like you would want to render and display, not rasterise.
