Add game manual support
This could be great, imagine a pdf browser, that we could add pre and post execution commands, i could pre- send it to a translation program, or whatever i want to do previous loading it, well maybe the post is not necessary (at least I cannot find a nice example) . But reading translated japanese pdf manuals could be great.
I use Sumatrapdf, that uses Mupdf, http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=mupdf.git;a=summary Lots of formats and it seems mature and stable.
Yup, I was also thinking about mupdf (which seems to work everywhere) or poppler (which in theory integrates well with Qt). Will experiment with both of them.
I feel the PDF events to be overkill though; the data and assets for the games are expected to be in the format you'd like to see on the screen, so there are no events for the rest of the localizale text, eg. descriptions.
Resurrecting this old issue as I'd love to see this functionality. For ease of implementation, would it be sufficient to just open PDFs in the default file handler for the OS?
I'm afraid no, as on some platforms there can't be more than one program accessing the screen. Desktop PDF readers also rarely support gamepad controls, and of course there's the chance that the user just don't have a PDF viewer.
