I have been using it for my help files for several years now. I use Screensteps to build my help files and export them as PDF files. I have the PDF files on my server. When the user clicks the “Help” button, they are downloaded to a separate livecode browser window. Works well on Mac and

Re: Community PDF Project (was Revenue and the Open Source edition)

Actually Kevin, sorry but... users need to be aware about Android. The statement "Bear in mind however that basic display is already possible with the browser included in all editions of LC." is not 100% accurate. A PDF does NOT display within the web browser in Android. We ended up having to use

Almost right. We were aiming for complete parity for the heavier weight browser renderer in the widget to provide perfect cross platform compatibility and for exactly these sorts of reasons but it wasn't possible due to some platform specific issues we found integrating the framework. However PDF

Android is still in need of an in-stack PDF display feature. The default behavior is to pass it to a user-installed PDF viewer app. ~Roger On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 11:56 AM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Kevin Miller wrote: > > > On 05/05/2016, 16:10, Richard Gaskin

Re: Community PDF Project (was Revenue and the Open Source edition)

I think its worth a quick chime in here. The total development costs for XPDF ran into the tens of thousands of dollars. Our acquisition/trade cost for them was not cheap either. It is unlikely we could recoup that investment or invest in them further (as we plan to do) selling these as low cost
