Hello,

does wxWidgets have PDF Rendering component? f.e. something based on poppler/GhostScript ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Werner,

thanks for your quick response. I'm affraid that wxPdfDocument cannot render existing PDF. It allows user to create one from a scratch. Am I right or missed something while reading through wxPdfDocument docs?

thanks
tom

yeah,

wxGhostScript was my lucky winner but I cannot compile it on windows, that's why I'm looking after alternative :/
I think I've asked everyone I could for precompiled or clues for compiling this library.
I wrote to author, I wrote to guy who wrote post on wxGhostScript forum about compilng it on windows. No emails from them.

wxGhostScript was written when wxWindows existed, maybe this is a problem?

I'm terrified, sad and hopeless :/

You are right. wxPdfDocument allows to create new PDF files, but does
not render existing PDF files. The next version will allow to use pages
from existing PDF files as templates. But for two reasons this will
probably not solve your problem. Firstly the next version will not be
available before late summer, secondly there will not be support to
render an existing PDF file and convert it into some graphics format (as
you seem to require).

There exists a wxPDF class written by Rolf Ackermann which allows to
render PDF files. The code is based on xpdf library. The code can be
found here:
