It still doesn't work for me.
Weird, it works fine for me with AFPL Ghostscript 8.00 (and if the document has the password set to test).
Even worse: I don't understand the concept. A password is file dependent. The user should be asked to enter a password if one is required to open the specific file. At the moment the parameter is included everytime, which doesn't make sense to me.
Yes - you're right, but it's much work to parse the pdf trailer and fetch the information from it. Sorry, but at the moment, only the additional ini option is supported.

With best regards,

One-page, no more

Post by *Clo »

:)   Hello!

• I just installed your plugin under Win 98 SE (French)
• I installed too the Ghostscript 8.13 for Win 98 (installation successful)
• I rebooted the PC - though the Ghostscript install didn't prompt me for this-.
• I added the line in my <wincmd.ini> with the right path, the section is:

Code: Select all

[ListerPlugins]
0=C:\Totalcmd\ICLView.wlx
0_detect="ext="ICL" | ext="ICO" | (force & (ext="EXE" | ext="DLL"))"
1=C:\Totalcmd\Modules\Cdbfview.wlx
1_detect="ext="DBF" |  ext="DBC""
2=C:\totalcmd\Modules\pdfview.wlx
2_detect="ext="PDF" | ext="PS" | ext="EPS" | ([0]="%" & [1]="!" & [2]="P" & [3]="S") | ([0]="%" & [1]="P" & [2]="D" & [3]="F" & [4]="-")"
NB : the last line isn't really wrapped in the file...

:|  That works, but only one page (the first, I guess ?) is displayed in Lister or a pannel as Quick-View.
• The links to other pages don't work, when this page is the folder-menu.

¤ Hence, I can't browse a *.pdf folder, like I can do using Acrobat Reader...

:?: What is wrong ?

• Glad to hear from you about this behaviour,

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

Claude,

you can use the [Page-Up] and [Page-Down] keys or the [G] keyboard shortcut to jump to other pages of the pdf file.

Works, but...

Post by *Clo »

• Thanks, it works. Besides, the font is huge. Is there a mean to reduce it a bit ?

• This PC is only a P II at 350 MHz - SD-RAM 320 MB.
• I use it to test "betas" of some programs, so it's slow at the *.pdf displaying in Lister.
• I think to install your plugin under XP-Pro, for which I've a much better PC ( 2-CPU 1.65 GHz DD-RAM 1 GB...)

:P   It should be great to get the links active in a future version...

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

Claude,

you can reduce the font size by choosing a smaller resolution via the [G] shortcut.

Best regards,

Pdfview 1.05 - poor quality output

Post by *strawbeard »

fnheiden wrote:Okay, next version will have a tips-and-tricks section in the readme.
Could you please add the following to this section:

Code: Select all

- Make sure, that the Lister option "Fit Image to Window (F)" is _un_checked.
I'd had this option turned on all the time not being aware of it. Pdfview's (1.05) output looked pretty ugly! :roll: And for a few hours I couldn't find out why. :x The missing scrollbars put me on the right track.:lol:

Changes (since v.1.00):

Code: Select all

[2003-04-05]  NEW: optional exepath configuration option to support handmade ghostscript environments.
You can download it from
http://www.mp3tag.de/tc.html

or via direct link from
http://www.mp3tag.de/download/tc/wlx_pdfview_101.zip


Important:
To use the new feature, you have to add the key exepath to the section pdfview in the file lsplugin.ini and provide the full path to gswin32c.exe in DOS-notation (short paths).

You also have to supply the -I<lib-dir> switch to the command key.

Example:

Code: Select all

[pdfview]
command=-Id:\data\TOTALC~1\plugins\lister\pdfview\gs\lib\ -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=bmp256 -r%3 -sOutputFile=%2 -dFirstPage=%4 -dLastPage=%4 "%1"
exepath=d:\data\TOTALC~1\plugins\lister\pdfview\gs\bin\gswin32c.exe
resolution=144
With best regards,
~ Florian
I can't get this working, I get a message that GhostScript is unable to convert the document
Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, and it's described in the ReadMe.txt of the plugin (surprise!).
