OpenBook / OpenContent Samples?
Hello,
I am just trying to open a simple PDF or ePub on a PocketBook 603, but my attempts with OpenBook have failed so far. I have tried OpenBook ("/User_Guide_PocketBook_603(DE).pdf", "", 0); but that does not open a pdf Thanks Alex |

OpenBook
Hi below,
I do think, "OpenBook" does in fact open a book. But emulator has to find "pdfviewer.app" and "book.pdf" (for example). I think, it's a matter of pathes app-files included in emulator. On device itself it should work, if "book.pdf" is found. |

pdfviewer
Hi below,
now I've tried your call to OpenBook( ... ) myself on emulator. Indeed inkview calls the pdfviewer.app indirectly via "system/config/extensions.cfg", where the file extensions (like .pdf) are all assigned to the handling .app-programs. But unfortunately the pdfviewer.app is not available in the emulator. And before you try to copy "pdfviewer.app" from your PB603 to the emulator's "/system/bin", be warned, that you would have to use a version of "pdfviewer.app", that is compiled and linked for "i386" (for "emu", not for device). You could compile and build it yourself, because the source-code for "pdfviewer-pb" is available on the internet (https://pocketbook-free.svn.sourcefo.../pdfviewer-pb/) - but i expect problems with libraries and so on, if you really try. If anyone (perhaps you?) would do this work to compile and build all available standard-apps for emulator, I would be glad, if you post them here. |

OpenBook
Yes, that works (at least on device, not on emulator where pdfviewer is missing).
I used a renamed pdf-Dokument (test.pdf): Code:
OpenBook ("/mnt/ext1/test.pdf", NULL, 0); Code:
OpenBook ("/mnt/ext1/User_Guide_PocketBook_603(DE).pdf", NULL, 0); |
