PDFs in LiveCode via XPDF
Incorporating PDFs content into LiveCode applications has long been a reoccurring discussion point on numerous LiveCode forums and email lists. Since the delivery of the XPDF external from LiveCode, adding and manipulating PDF content is now within easy reach for any LiveCode developer. This talk will introduce you to the features and functions of the XPDF external and demonstrate displaying and extracting content from PDFs in a LiveCode stack. If you have been looking to work with PDF content in your stacks, but just need some orientation to get started, this talk is for you.
