It might.

It would be helpful if more folks read the specs for the PDF external LiveCode is including with their Business Edition. It's very specialized, with extensive features for getting and setting selections far beyond the needs of most projects.

What I'm hearing from most Indy and Community devs is that they merely want to render a PDF within LiveCode.

Given the PDFium library available for that, and that LiveCode Builder supports binary APIs such as those in that library, if this is a lucrative opportunity it would seem worth pursuing for those who want it.

The developer could sell it as proprietary, or even dual-license it with a GPL version.

Anyone sufficiently convinced of the business opportunity here to take this on?
