Import PDF in Stack

Post by catalinanesia » Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:34 pm

Hi everyone,
I will start working on a "small" project in LiveCode, will be a sort of Product Catalog for
iOS, Android and Desktop (Win./Mac) but here is one question I have to set me started:
what controller I should use to import a PDF file. I will need to be able to scroll on it since
the PDF will have many pages (200 to 500).

Appreciate all the help!
Catalin

PS. For now the project takes shape in mid and paper (no code) ... yet!

A bit of google can do magic ...

Hi Catalin,
There was a note in there from Hanson saying it would work for iOS so I just tried this on Android :(
No luck. Needs an external app to read the pdf.

EDIT; but I recall people were using google docs to open pdf's.
I used to be a newbie but then I learned how to spell teh correctly and now I'm a noob!
