Hi,

I am planning to develop a PDF viewer for xbox which will be based on open source xpdf hosted at http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf.

the architecture will be very pluggable so that it can open file in any dashboard without dashboard loosing control..initially i plan to support xbmc and unleashx my favouite dashboards..

just wanna know if somebody is interested..

let me know..

cheers..

Sounds cool man. Especially if it a 'module' like you say, able to work with a variety of dashes.

im very interested.
good luck with the project

I have wanted this a couple of times. Would be awesome if it could plug into XBMC!

I wouldnt mind something like this for viewing a few ebooks I have.. I can sit in my recliner and view those .pdf's

There is a definite interest for this project, and xbmc integration would be excellent. Good luck!

'Tis a good idea!

Best of luck to you!

great idea, it would be useful for reading xbox manuals in pdf format can't wait to see what happens with this, good luck.

get with the guy that made LinksBoks add pdf suppor to the browser that would be great.

lol nice idead. but a stand alone viewer would be better imo.

I was just going to ask if there was an ebook viewer for xbox.

pdf viewer sounds like a cool idea.

Great Idea! keep us posted on how its coming.

are you still working on this? as it sounded quite interesting

This PDF viewer for the xbox would solve like 3000 things I would like to do all at once.

if I could help, I would, but I do not program or write scripts or anything useful, but if this item became "donation-ware" I would surely donate. I hate shareware, but I do not mind donating a small amount of money to someone who created a very useful item. But when I am forced to give, I do without the program.

this would be great for XBOX manuals, as well as manuals or emulated systems, and all sort of other ebook types.

thank you for your efforts ahead of time

Good lord how have I missed this thread... Just found it after searching, I've requested this prog be ported a couple of times, I can't wait for this to be released, hopefully as a seperate app.

A PDF Viewer............This would be awsome, i cant wait for a release, thanks for spending ur time 2 make it.

hi guys,

just to update u about the progress..

i am busy these days sorting out my new employer (IBM) so just bear with me for few days.
u may suddenly find one day the source and executable in the usual places..believe me that day will be soon..i'll only appreciate ur efforts in reporting bugs and enhancements and no donations once it'll be released. i am more interested to see this component in action than u guys..

peace,

sachin

Man, i cant thank u enough. if i find ne bugs i will pm them to u, thanks again

Crikey, if you're working for IBM then you must be pretty good man
Can't wait for this.

WOW, greate idea!
It would a useful tool for every one!

Keep up the good work!

hows the project comin dude?

bump

any chance that I can listen to an audio book and read its PDF version at the same time?

agreed... I'd like a way to read PDF files in XBMC :S

Is this project dead?

this thread is 2 years old
either its dead or its already released

if it is released whats its called so i can get it

There is a person actively working on adding PDF support to the next release of OpenDash.

yes... does it at least have pdf in the name? Im looking in the usual places right now


update: unfortunately there is not one file in the UP's that has the letters PDF in it.

Bump...

God, Please tell that someones been so kind hearted as to have accomplished this generous task by now? Please.

I just view PDFs in XDSL.
