Integrate Pdfium

2017-06-27 Thread Tim Hutt
After having Lyx on OSX fail to load PDF previews for the Nth time the thought occurs that relying on third party command line tools like ImageMagick and Ghostscript, or even sips (which I believe is the 'fix') is horribly fragile and there is a better way. Why not integrate Pdfium into Lyx? It's
