Hi all,
because I needed to incorporate PDF files in my application, I searched for a good PDF component for Lazarus.
The only one I found to be good and easy in use was using an old MuPDF library (version 1.08). Because I needed to analyse PDF's in the background, without any user interaction, and a debug dialog sometimes popping up, I downloaded the MuPDF source, removed the popup and recompiled the library.
I have no experience in using and making good headers to use them in Lazarus, but anyway I made it up to v1.11 without any real big difficulties. I want to go on until we are back on track with the newest version, and when done, adding the different possibilities of the library, so we can use them all from within Lazarus.
I am now working/stuck on version 1.12. The library is compiled correctly, but loading a pdf gives an error.
If someone wants to get this to v1.17 too, please jump in.
If made a sourceforge svn:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mupdflib-for-pascal/I also made a little homepage for it:

A small test app is also available
I will look into supporting Linux too.
