I want to be able to display PDF in a window within a Tcl/Tk app (in
Windows). I figure the easiest way to do this is to simply embed an IE
"pane" into the app. By using IE I figure I won't have to re-invent
the wheel.

I haven't been able to find a way to do this using directly. I've
thought about allowing something like ImageMagik to convert it a a jpg
and go from there.
Any advice?

If you wanted to embed IE, you could use optcl or tcom, as
NewzPoint (sp?) does. However, I think you would be better
off directly trying to embed the Adobe PDF component. I
imagine it's similar, although you'd have to figure out what
components are available.
