PDF View is a PDF viewer for PowerBASIC 9.01. The attached code is 100% DDT and bloat free
The executable is under 50K and the necessary Quick PDF DLL is under 1.5 Meg. The Adobe Reader 8.1.3 folder on my machine weighs in at 195 Meg but then, this project also doesn't have the functionality or features that Adobe Reader 8 has.
The project has been tested with the following files:
1 - The included "PDF_Report.pdf" (1 page)
2 - The "GettingStarted.pdf" (2 pages) in the bata 2 version of Quick PDF 7.12
3 - The PDF reference manual (200+ pages) from the Quick PDF 5.11 demo version
4 - The PDF reference manual (500+ pages) from the Quick PDF 7.12 beta 2 release
5 - PowerBASIC Test Forums, post by Gordon Slater (1 page) http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=40104
6 - Inlet Manifold An Alibre Design Tutorial (43 pages) http://www.instructables.com/files/o...N0EQHOAMC1.pdf
7 - Perfect Sync's SQL Tools Help File (910 pages) http://perfectsync.com/dl/SQLTools.pdf
8 - Ditra, A Tile Floor that Won’t Crack (7 pages) http://www.schluter.com/media/articl...e_floor_us.pdf
Files 1 to 6 all loaded fine and seem to display correctly. File 7 loads fine and displays correctly except for the logo missing from the first page.
File 8 is a challenge. File loading is slow, the first page rendering is slow others are fine. The document has many embedded fonts and none are showing.
Feel free to comment and contribute to the project, I'll open a new topic with the same name in the third-party addons forum.
