Acrobat pfd

[Franz Leu]

Hi group

According to this site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/getstart/devplat/thin/thinreqs/default.aspx
there exists a plug-in from MS do render pdf's.
That would mean I do not have to componentize Acrobat.

Does somebody know where to get that?
Thanks and best regards
Franz

Here again it says "included"

It is for Windows CE, not XPe.

John,

Go back and look at it again (both articles)! It definitly is listed with
XPe as well. So ... Hello MS ... where can I find that?

Franz,

You are right. And also: They did not put any legal disclaimer on the page about the validity of information's said there,
interesting.

Ok, your question should go here:

And please let us know about the response that you get. (Probably someone put stronger dot there accidentally though)

Regards,
Slobodan

That's a typo, we'll ask that the page be fixed to remove it. You *can*
install acrobat, but there is no acrobat plug-in component in the default
dependency database for XPe.

Lots of thin clients today install and ship Adobe Acrobat Reader as well as
MS Office Viewers.

Andy,

I know I can. But I have to componentize it myself first. That is what I
wanted to avoid, and I don't like the way to install it to the image before
distribution.

Thanks and best regards
Franz
