Tex/PDF. Was: ideas for Andrea

Acrobat can be embedded directly inside a Python application, at least in Windows. There is even a sample of this in the wxPython demo ActiveX_PDFWindow.py.

than a DVI interpreter. Although if you only support pdfTeX output,
maybe not.

Hi List,

We have written about this before. A wxPDF control would be perfect (as we are
working on Linux), and can be built upon xpdf. Then it is simply a wrapper
around xpdf, which is lightweight, and very responsive. if I am not mistaken,
xpdf is also the engine for kpdf. Using an existing rendering engine makes
the amount of work significantly less.
