is there a wxpython based pdf veiwer or libary out there (that is bsd or lgpl licensed), i use pdf generated reports and i'd like to be able to view them without the need for any 3rd party apps (such as the large and bloated acroread)
Hi Timothy,
As far as I know there is no wxPDF control available. A couple of months ago
there was a discussion going on about this issue, but as far as I know no-one
has developed something like this.
Off course, if you are running on Linux there are alternatives (Xpdf, Kpdf).
that are considerably lighter than acroread.
Perhaps Xpdf or Kpdf could be wrapped in such a way that they could be used as
a control. This would be a really cool feature.

possibly some kind of python based pdf libary could be wrapped and displayed in a wx frame?

Not wxPython-based, but xpdf is small and fast.

Sometimes ago I play a little bit with a pdf viewer for wxPython.
But I had another priorities and didn't give it to much attention. What
I did was to implement a control in wxWidgets using the poppler library
( http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ ), and than I made a wrapper to
wxPython. It's working (linux only), but it's lacking an important
feature. The print feature.
Since I end up never use this control I never try to implement the print
feature.
What I use to display/print my pdf reports is evince/gpdf/kpdf/xpdf.
I search what is the first available on the system by that order.
This poppler library is a fork from xpdf 3.0, and I suppose that the
recents linux pdf viewers, are using it.
If someone wants to take a look to what I did, I don't mind to send a
copy of it, here to the list or privately.

yes it does sound intresting, i'd need to implement the print feature and possibly a search feature
Yes it's interesting but the is a big issue, the poppler license is GPL
and I think it's not fully compliant with the wxWidgets license that
wxPython uses.
One more nice feature is text selections.

ahh buggered that idea then...
How do i find out how many pixels a window has scrolled, when i use the
ScrollWindow() method, which, according to the docs, "pysically scrolls the pixels of a window".
I need to know how far my Window has been scrolled...
No idea, anyone?
TIA,
C
Hello Christophe,
I don't quite understand your problem.
You scroll with ScrollWindow actually the given pixels?
ScrollWindow(self, int dx, int dy, Rect rect=None)
Or did I misundertood you?
