PDF Support for Windows CE via PocketXpdf

Hello,

I've ported PocketXpdf to Windows CE5, which will enable PDF to be viewed natively in a lot of devices. To install, extract the CAB file from the attached ZIP and copy it on to your device and double-click to install.

I initially tried to get Acrobat 2.0 working, but it didn't work on plain-vanilla CE5 -- which is what is in the device that I have, the JE200. So I found PocketXpdf, but it didn't work so I did the minimal amount of porting to get it working.

Thanks go to rfog who created a emulator image which I could use for compiling the version I've uploaded here.

I plan to upgrade the included XPDF code to the latest versions of xpdf and freetype once I get some free time (although most PDFs seemed to work fine as-is).

To setup a development environment, use the instructions given in the above link (please use the image in the aygshell folder) to setup the CE5 build environment. Download the PocketXpdf 0.5 source code and then apply the patch in the ZIP file, open the solution in visual studio and then compile the "CAB project" to get the output cab.
