PDF in HTMLRenderer

[paulmansour]

Should I be able to display a PDF file in HTMLRenderer?

It seems other wrappers like CEFSharp allow this.

Hi, the following code works nicely in 17.1

      'fm' ⎕WC 'Form' ('Coord' 'pixel')('Size' 650 500)
      'fm.hr' ⎕WC 'HTMLRenderer'('Posn' 0 0)('Size' 650 500)('AsChild' 1)
       fm.hr.URL←'D:\Dyalog180\help\HTMLRenderer User Guide.pdf' ⍝ NB: the path may differ in your installation

but, as you found out, NOT in 18.0 (all I get is a black window)?

Thanks Veli-Matti. I had not bothered to check v17. So I guess the good news is that its a bug that should be (easily) fixed.

Hi Paul and Veli-Matti,

Thanks for reporting this and finding that it works in 17.1 but not 18.0.

John has logged this as 19072 and will investigate.

Regards,

Vince

Ah, I'll have a look. IIRC we changed the CEF version we use. There may be a difference there. I'll see what we can do.
