nPDF - A document viewer for the Nspire
« on: November 29, 2013, 11:50:49 pm »
nPDF is a document viewer for the Nspire that supports PDF, XPS, CBZ, and various image formats through the (relatively) lightweight MuPDF. Ndless 3.1 or above is required, and nPDF is licensed under GPLv3 or later.

Nice :D
I guess he has some trouble with the API functions but once he understands them, it'll be fine!

The API seemed to be working in the latest animated GIF demo.
Writing to the screen shouldn't be more complicated than writing to a PNG image.

nPDF 0.1 is attached in the first post! It only works on CX right now, and it's 8mb, but still, its the first PDF viewer for the Nspire! :)

Wow, I'm greatly impressed. I could easily run into my math lessons with this. This is one of the most powerful tool I could see on nSpire.

Post it to tiArchive, that'll get instantly showcase...

Great program, the biggest TI-Nspire Ndless program ever! :D

Some notes which are going to be useful for a next release, I hope:

- seems to crash when trying to open a non-supported file
you could test the file header and display an error - and maybe avoid showing those files

- doesn't seem to correctly set up the '.pdf' extension when the Ndless config file is missing
how do you do this ? there is a new Ndless instruction for setting up new extensions, where you don't even need to check/parse the config file content by yourself anymore

I have to add error handling, the MuPDF library uses some special exception handling system.

I made a function for that, but forgot to call it XD
EDIT: The function uses cfg_register_fileext to register the .pdf, .xps, and .cbz extensions.
EDIT 2: Eiyeron, I'll add it to ticalc.org once i add some more features to it. Right now it kind of sucks. :P

Hi, I just started continuing work today :)

Here are some planned features (in no particular order):
Proper error handling (using MuPDF's C exception handling system)
Zooming
A menu
Allowing the holding down of arrow keys
Find
Rotate page
Some convenient keyboard shortcuts (with help)
Select/copy/paste text (using the Nspire clipboard, i think nTxt has such a feature)

Feel free to post additional suggestions here.
