[Sugar-devel] [Browse] PDFs inline
I've seen your merge request on http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/inline-pdf. Since I've been working on Browse-webkit, I'd like to implement inline PDFs for it as well. However, evince maintainers are very hostile to browser plugins, NPAPI or otherwise (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168933). I'd like your advice on how to handle this feature within Browse-webkit. pywebkitgtk has the capability to embed widgets just like you'd embed NPAPI plugins. Should I embed evince or work with poppler directly? ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

It may be a good idea - but it may be even better to have a simple PDF viewer widget (which incorporates an add to journal button) using the evince-python bindings.

That's what I meant, I'll make a widget with a small toolbar which embeds evince (libevview). I do seem to have a problem with evince 2.30, they seem to have broken their API. http://library.gnome.org/devel/libevview/2.30/ Thanks, Sayamindu -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
