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?

awesome contribution, bo!
comes really handy when you need to plan for some nasty last minute content changes from oh so well organized clients. :)

antokhio 16/05/2011 - 21:10

lol bo that's cool ;]

roman_g 17/05/2011 - 15:43

Amazing...maybe very useful fur GUI!

microdee 19/05/2011 - 20:17

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

it takes some time to load or something (black windows popping up) but then works fine.

bo27 29/12/2011 - 19:04

@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.

circuitb 29/12/2011 - 19:49

@ 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.

bo27 25/10/2012 - 19:32

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

Urbankind 26/10/2012 - 20:06

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.

Alec 08/05/2013 - 14:38

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
