Requirements
Compiling
It's recommended to use PDFium binaries (Version 4012 or newer) which makes building very easy.
If you dare to build PDFium yourself follow the following instructions:
- Build PDFium per instructions on the PDFium page.
- Use GYP_DEFINES='pdf_enable_xfa=0' when building pdfium
- Use CMake to build the samples/simple project
- Or use the included CMake file in your project and link wxPDFView lib (will link the required pdfium libs)
Using
Currently includes 3 classes you can include into your own frames
- wxPDFView Main pdf view
- wxPDFViewBookmarksCtrl tree control displaying bookmarks contained in the PDF
- wxPDFViewThumbnailListBox listbox control for displaying thumbnails
Or you can base your PDF viewing on a complete PDF viewer frame
- wxPDFViewDocumentFrame Combining all controls into a PDF viewer window
After initializing an instance of wxPDFView call wxPDFViewBookmarksCtrl::SetPDFView and/or wxPDFViewThumbnailListBox. Call wxPDFView::LoadFile to load a PDF into the view.
