view/operate pdf

wxPython Users
#1

this example tries to find adobe product, however I use foxit on ms
Windows, so I get
[msg]
  File "h:\sap-24\bin\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\lib\pdfwin.py", li
ne 25, in get_acroversion
    adobesoft = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'Software\Adobe')
WindowsError: (2, '')
[/msg]

in other words,
first, this example does not work for other pdf viewer
second, is there a lib to do so? so that my app does not rely on
wether the user has installed a PDF viewer

thanx again

I think the wxPython demo 'ActiveX_PDFWindow" shows how to do some of this.

What I have done is have a user setup option where the user has to enter
the path to whatever program they use to view PDF files. This approach
works regardless of the OS.
