<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Rendering pdf files inside an application will really depend on the environment the student is using. If the student has access to a web view object, something that can display html, it should be possible to
display the file. The student may be able to leverage a control that opens the installed web browser on the target machine and uses that for the display, for example. Otherwise, if they can display a html page through some kind of html control, they might
be able to utilise a javascript library like pdf.js to display the pdf. Finally, if they don’t have access to this, I suggest having the student look at pipelining the file to postscript and then to text/html as required. There are opensource tools available
for this in the ghostscript libs and I am pretty sure they work on windows?! This will not work well for all pdfs but does work pretty well for text heavy documents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
