I've managed to build PDFium into a shared library on Ubuntu 16.04. (I'll announce a blog post on this later.) Now I'm considering the best bitmap format to bring the rendered page back into Pharo. I'm seeking advise on... Q1. Looking at the two significant bitmap creation functions below from

Re: [Pharo-users] Embedded PDF viewer?

Hello Ben, UFFI does not allow you to call static libraries. Static libraries are not executable per se, they need to be linked in another program. As I know, the only way of using an static library from Pharo is to: - Build a plugin that wraps it. - Build a DLL exposing all the functions

Re: [Pharo-users] Embedded PDF viewer?

I'm looking into calling PDFium from Pharo via FFI. Currently I'm stalled a bit since it doesn't have a shared-library target. If you consider access to such a library would be useful to the community, please take a few moments to star this issue...

Re: [Pharo-users] Embedded PDF viewer?

Implementation wise this may be possible through a hack, some OS windows can be semi trasparent , this make it possible to overlay one GUI element over the other in this case a PDF with basic scrolling handles. It should be possible with UFFI and some knowledge of OS GUI APIs. Probably much easier

Re: [Pharo-users] Embedded PDF viewer?

I have been thinking about this. I don't know if you can have a VNC client inside the image that can be used to render a PDF app, but that would be my first approach, to leverage all the features in the current PDF readers. Cheers, Offray On 10/10/17 14:04, Stephane Ducasse wrote: > Hi manuel

Hi manuel So far I do not know if we have this is Pharo. I imagine that we would have to build a renderer once we will have the PDF reader from Christian library. Stef On Tue, Oct 10, 2017 at 8:58 PM, Manuel Leuenberger wrote: > Hi, > > I want to view a PDF within

[Pharo-users] Embedded PDF viewer?

Hi, I want to view a PDF within Pharo. I found that Athens has a PDF canvas, but I have no idea how to use it. Is there a way to view a PDF within Pharo, so that I can scroll, zoom, click links etc. in the PDF? Cheers, Manuel
