<div dir="ltr">Hi Todd (and list),<div><br></div><div> Re: linking with visual studio, one option you can consider is creating a plain C wrapper API for the functionality you require, then you can link poppler as a win32 dll, this simplifies linking and integration with windows apps.</div><div><br></div><div> Another alternative is to provide the functionality you require available as a standalone executable, this makes integration very easy. I made a program a few years ago called PandaPDF which does image rendering, content extraction and manifest generation - it uses Poppler for most tasks, but can render pages with multiple drivers (Splash, Cairo, Photoshop, Ghostscript).</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="https://github.com/HarryR/PandaPDF">https://github.com/HarryR/PandaPDF</a></div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 October 2015 at 05:22, Todd Hubers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:todd.hubers@alivate.com.au" target="_blank">todd.hubers@alivate.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I have been maintaining a Windows build of Poppler.
