So there's apparently no solution to this seemingly common need to be able
to view and convert PDF files to single PNG's or JPEG's in Livecode.
Suggestions?
Hi Ray,
There is a free pdf reader for Win32 / Win64 there:
Just to say that I can endorse Thierry's external, which I'm using in a
commercial product. I have not in fact tried it on Windows 8, but it should be
fine as it works in Windows 7 and XP - if Thierry says it will work with
Windows 8, I'm sure it will. It does exactly what I needed it to do,

Hi Thierry,
I too could use such a great external. We use PDFs extensively, and it has
been an ongoing need to access them with LiveCode (on Windows). Do you
plan to market your external to the LiveCode Community?
One question: Does it offer any control over the bitmap resolution?

Hi Roger,
Sure, you can get it.
And about the bitmap resolution, yes, it works but again,
as I did this job a couple of years ago, I have to dig in this project
for the details, which I can't right now.
Please, contact me off-list for more info.
Kind regards,
Thierry

Sorry to bring this topic back up again but it seems there's no solution for
this.
Installing QuickTime on Windows does not display PDF's in a player object.
This is odd since this works wonderfully on a Mac.
Yrying to display PDF's in a browser object opens Adobe's Reader which, in
Windows'
In the past I have used pre-rolled command line utilities for that. I am
not sure if this is the specific one I use, but I used imagemagick before
to accomplish this as well.

That particular utility is cross platform i believe.

Yep. That would seem to meet the requirement of the request by the OP:
PDF's to PNG's on Windows 8.

my reasoning was to include that info in the archives to save someone time

Many thanks for these suggestions! With PDF's being used so broadly does
anybody else feel that this would be a worthwhile addition to Livecode?
Imagine simply being able to read a PDF file into an array, or being able
