Hello,

We are looking for a way to view PDF files in our CAD drawings. We have our own cad program and would like to add this feature to it. We can currently display JPGs in a window that can be scaled to real world coordinates. This is great for mappers. They can load a satellite map, scale the image to a know real world length, and it becomes so accurate they can place streets and house footprints on top of the image.

I would like to do the same with PDF. I'm not interested in converting the data to CAD data, but rather display PDF to a window on my screen. Ideally to a CWnd or hDC.

Any ideas how this can be done? Have you heard of any viewing libraries that can be linked into a Windows application? We currently use Smaller Animals ImgSource for viewing JPG/GIF/Tiff and it works beautifully.

Thank you,
Matt
