OpenBook / OpenContent Samples?

[below]

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

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.

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.

The correct call should be
OpenBook ("/mnt/ext1/User_Guide_PocketBook_603(DE).pdf", NULL, 0);

Yes, that works (at least on device, not on emulator where pdfviewer is missing).

I used a renamed pdf-Dokument (test.pdf):

OpenBook ("/mnt/ext1/test.pdf", NULL, 0);

But for original "User_Guide_PocketBook_603(DE).pdf":

OpenBook ("/mnt/ext1/User_Guide_PocketBook_603(DE).pdf", NULL, 0);

did not work. Possibly there is a problem with length of filenames.
