Re: Where is the pdf external in LC 9.6 and 10?

[panagiotis m via use-livecode]

Hello all,

We will bring back XPDF, since it has some functionality that the PDF
widget does not have, at least as of now :)

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23578

Kind regards,
Panos

this (scroll to bottom) is what the PDF widget functionality provides:

Is it different from the XPDF external?

OK, my fault, obviously I don't know exactly what the external is and can do.

I can't see how Livecode can replace the XPDF external with the PDF 
Widget UNTIL the PDF Widget provided all the functions the External does 
(and it does not). Well, of course they could drop the external even if 
it does a bunch of thinsg people depend on that the Widget does not, but 
it would just be bad of them to do so!

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

Ah thanks, Paul.
I copied already the xpdf from an older LC version to LC 10DP3.

But good to know that it will be back. XPDF allows me to get the imagedata of 
the currently rendered page and 'export' that as image.

I thought this has been replaced with the PDF widget, which is only available 
in the "Pro Pack" addon?

It got removed from LC 9.6.6 and 9.6.7 and 10.0.0 dp 1 to 3. They 
(Livecode Support) said it would be back in LC 10.0.0 dp 4 and 
presumable and further releases in the 9.6.x series.


You can copy it from the 9.6.5 of earlier to the ccorresponding folder 
for LC 9.6.7. For example, on Windows it is C:\Program 
Files\RunRev\LiveCode 9.6.5\Ext\XPDF-1.0.45


Copy the XPDF-1.0.45 folder to the \Ext\ directory for LC 9.6.7

Hi all.

I just wanted to update an older stack in LC10 that uses the xpdf external, but 
it seems that XPDF is not available anymore in LC. Further testing shows that 
at least also LC 9.6 and up does not have XPDF included anymore?

Am i am missing something?
