The new PDF Reader object allows displaying a PDF file embedded into the project.
The PDF Reader object can be controlled at runtime via the according actions.
Notes about viewing PDFs:
Handling of PDFs may need a lot of CPU power and may consume a lot of memory (especially when loading a new page). To improve the user experience the following points should be taken into consideration:
•All fonts used in the PDF should be embedded in the document so the PDF reader does not have to search for a matching system font.
•If the PDF document contains embedded graphics, they should be saved in the same resolution (DPI) as the display of the target device.
•The whole PDF document should already have the correct size to display at 100% on the target device so that the user does not need to zoom in or out.
•If your system needs very fast response times on the CAN bus, it should be tested if these response times can be kept while displaying a PDF or switching pages in the PDF reader.
By clicking on this property, a file chooser dialog will be displayed to select a PDF file from the computer.
This file will then be displayed in the PDF Reader object.
