opens Adobe PDF files in vvvv

Description

Used libraries and tools: PdfSharp and muPDF Please read their licensie agreements.

PDF files used for help-patch: [dont panic - the noobs guide to vvvv](xref:contribution/dont panic - the noobs guide to vvvv) by roman_g and [illustrated guide to vvvv for newbies in computer arts](xref:contribution/illustrated guide to vvvv for newbies in computer arts) by bo27

Libraries have some functional limitations (e.g. can not use layers from pdf file). But it's still better than nothing.

for beta28.1 simply copy dll from beta28.1 to the dependencies folder,the static one seems not fully working atm?

great! there's a mispelling in the node by "weight" you meant "width"? because weight can be measured in kg;)

@liquid thank you very much for supporting this contribution. feel free to add your updates to contribution page(Edit button under page title) @sunep yes black window pop-ups while external tool in progress (we have no background mode for it) and it takes some time to process all available pages. may not work if pdf is password protected.

@ sunep & bo27 you can hide the popup add this to the .cs in // render .png files for each page after exe.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; add exe.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

Hi, may I ask why the .csproj doesn't point directly to %vvvv%\lib\core\etc instead of pointing to ......\lib\core\etc ? I'm using 27.2 getting red PDFTexture node, though working fine.

Thanks.

EDIT: @circuitb I still get those cmd windows popping out. Would you suggest something more? XP32 here.

  • Sorry, works really fine. I had to do this into vvvv's editor.

hi guys, guess it should be recompilied for new .net, but i have no resources to do so, so anyone welcome to fix! sorry and thank you

It works fine to see all PDF in one go like the help patch but when i use a getslice to switch PDF then texture kinda stuck with the previous cache, the reload pin is not helping... the texture updates only when i alt+rightclick(reset) the PDF texture node + some PDF doesn't show up at all.

Hi guys, PDFTexture plugin works fine with b29.2x86. I copied dll files from vvvv folder to the dependencies plugin folder.

Now I have some suggestion:

  • Is it possible to update the plugin with the last PDFsharp and MuPDF libraries that support last PDF file version?
  • Would be great if the PDF conversion was done in an extra thread so that vvvv isn't blocked while the plugin loads all the PDF files. Something like Preloader (EX9.Texture).

AAA looking for some vvvvoluntary! :)

hi,

regarding pdfsharp: the latest version Can create PDF files marked for PDF version 1.2 (Adobe Acrobat Reader 3) through 1.7 (Adobe Reader 8);

Supports PDF versions 1.2 through 1.4 (including the transparency features introduced with Adobe Reader 5.0); these files can be read and written

theres's a workaround with itextsharp to convert unreadables pdf's but it's is not free
