Hi Michael, It would be great if you turned it into a Planet package. I had no immediate need for pdfs, so I put it on hold.
The code attached to the old message rendered the pdf into a png on disc, and then loaded the png as a snip. Since then Matthew added get-handle to Racket, so now one can render a pdf directly to a bitmap without touching the disc. I have uploaded the latest version here: https://github.com/soegaard/this-and-that/tree/master/racket-poppler It needs a bit of work though... Currently it simply renders the file bla.pdf into a bitmap that is then displayed in DrRacket. Note: You need a fairly recent build of DrRacket. The latest stable release is not new enough. /Jens Axel 2012/5/7 Michael W <mwil...@uccs.edu>: > This is wonderful.
