pdf reader?

[jollyb]

has eventghost any plugin except irfanview that can view pdf files?
i'm using irfanview to watch some pdfs, but it doesn't do that right. it would be great if i could manage adobe reader with EventGhost, but i didn't find anything here on the forum. i'm trying myself to do something in EventGhost but no success. just prev/next page and fullscreen would be needed as commands in my case.

This is the sort of thing EG excels at, you don't need a ready made plugin for simple program control like this.

Here is a little example of sending emulated keystrokes to acrobat reader from EG. (copy&paste the piece of code into EG)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="851">
    <Folder Name="Adobe Reader" Expanded="True">
        <Macro Name="NextPage">
            <Action>
                Window.FindWindow(u'AcroRd32.exe', None, None, u'AVPageView', None, 1, False, 0.0, 0)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                Window.SendKeys(u'{Right}', False)
            </Action>
        </Macro>
        <Macro Name="PrevPage">
            <Action>
                Window.FindWindow(u'AcroRd32.exe', None, None, u'AVPageView', None, 1, False, 0.0, 0)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                Window.SendKeys(u'{Left}', False)
            </Action>
        </Macro>
        <Macro Name="Fullscreen">
            <Action>
                Window.FindWindow(u'AcroRd32.exe', None, None, u'AVPageView', None, 1, False, 0.0, 0)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                Window.BringToFront()
            </Action>
            <Action>
                Window.SendKeys(u'{Ctrl+L}', False)
            </Action>
        </Macro>
    </Folder>
</EventGhost>

You could also control a program using the SendMessage action to generate windows messages but that will get more complicated and I think keystroke emulation should be sufficent in you case anyway.
