axpdfium | A susie plugin for PDF , using PDFium rendering engine | Document Editor library

Note that the latest PDFium requires 64bit env and MSVS 2017. Community edition suffices. Prepare prerequisites for building PDFium library. Open MSVS command prompt. Download https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/depot_tools.zip and extract somewhere like c:\depot_tools. Add the extracted path to the beginning of the PATH environment variable. Note that not only lock issues but also network issues (e.g. denied by access to the URL) may produce the messages like the followings: ``` CIPD lock is held, trying again after delay…​ Bootstrapping cipd client for windows-386 from https://chrome-infra-packages.appspot.com/client?platform=windows-386&version=git_revision:4d19637ec2c3d1efd8c6a1b05285118b786919e2…​; ```. Install Python, Subversion and Git if necessary. If you use Chocolatey, you can install them by the followings: ``` choco install python2 subversion git.install -y ```. If not yet, set Git config vars. Check visual studio setup: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/windows_build_instructions.md#visual-studio. If you use Chocolatey, you can install them except for Debugging Tools for Windows by the followings. You need to change Windows Software Development Kit in Programs and Features in Control Panel to enable Debugging Tools for Windows ``` choco install visualstudio2017community -y choco install visualstudio2017-workload-nativedesktop -y ```. If you changed the install location of MSVS, you may need to set envvar like set "GYP_MSVS_OVERRIDE_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Application\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017". Get PDFium sources ``` mkdir pdfium cd pdfium gclient config --unmanaged https://pdfium.googlesource.com/pdfium.git gclient sync cd pdfium ```. gclient sync may fail inside proxy without config as the followings: ``` [Boto] proxy=ProxyHost proxy_port=ProxyPort ``` set NO_AUTH_BOTO_CONFIG=<path_to_the_above_file>. gclient sync may fail if any of subkeys in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT have non-ascii characters. Make configuration and build PDFium library. You can check available options by gn args --list out/Debug ``` gn args out/Debug ninja -C out/Debug pdfium_all gn args out/Release ninja -C out/Release pdfium_all ``` ``` # Configuration example for gn args out/Debug pdf_enable_xfa = false pdf_enable_v8 = false pdf_is_standalone = true is_component_build = false clang_use_chrome_plugins = false target_cpu = "x86" ``` ``` # Configuration example for 'gn args out/Release is_debug = false pdf_enable_xfa = false pdf_enable_v8 = false pdf_is_standalone = true is_component_build = false clang_use_chrome_plugins = false target_cpu = "x86" ```. Set enviroment variables or MSVS variables: PDIFUM_ROOTPATH and PDFIUM_OBJPATH. See also [Creating reusable property configurations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/ide/working-with-project-properties#bkmkPropertySheets). Or, you can modify Debug.props and Release.props directly. PDFIUM_ROOTPATH points to where PDFium is checked out. PDFIUM_OBJPATH points to obj folder under the folder given to gn args. ``` PDFIUM_ROOTPATH=c:\pdfium\pdfium PDFIUM_OBJPATH=c:\pdfium\pdfium\out\Debug\obj ```.
