PDFium 渲染

PDFium 是 Chromium 的 PDF 渲染引擎，许可协议为 BSD 3-Clause。不同于 Mozilla 基于 HTML5 的 PDF.js，PDFium 是基于 Foxit Software （福昕软件）的渲染代码，Google 与其合作开源出的。

此外，Qt PDF 模块也选用了 PDFium ，可见 QtWebEngine / QtPdf。

本文将介绍如何用 PDFium 实现一个简单的 PDF 阅读器，代码见：https://github.com/ikuokuo/pdfium-reader 。

编译 PDFium

使用预编译库：https://github.com/bblanchon/pdfium-binaries

不然，参考 PDFium / README 自己编译，实践步骤如下：

# get depot_tools, contains: gclient, ninja, gn, ...
git clone --depth 1 https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Codes/Star/depot_tools"

# get pdfium
cd pdfium-reader/
mkdir -p third_party/chromium
cd third_party/chromium
gclient config --unmanaged https://pdfium.googlesource.com/pdfium.git
gclient sync
cd pdfium

# get deps
#  on linux, install additional build dependencies
./build/install-build-deps.sh

# gn config
#  args see the following `out/Release/args.gn`
gn args out/Release

# ninja build
#  pdfium
ninja -C out/Release pdfium
#  pdfium_test
ninja -C out/Release pdfium_test

# run sample: pdf > ppm
./out/Release/pdfium_test --ppm path/to/myfile.pdf

期间 out/Release/args.gn 内容如下：

use_goma = false  # Googlers only. Make sure goma is installed and running first.
is_debug = false  # Enable debugging features.

# Set true to enable experimental Skia backend.
pdf_use_skia = false
# Set true to enable experimental Skia backend (paths only).
pdf_use_skia_paths = false

pdf_enable_xfa = false  # Set false to remove XFA support (implies JS support).
pdf_enable_v8 = false  # Set false to remove Javascript support.
pdf_is_standalone = true  # Set for a non-embedded build.
pdf_is_complete_lib = true  # Set for a static library build.
is_component_build = false  # Disable component build (Though it should work)

使用 PDFium

阅读 PDFium / Getting Started，了解如何初始化 PDFium 及载入文档。步骤如下，或见 pdfium_start.c:

#include <fpdfview.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char const *argv[]) {
   
  FPDF_STRING test_doc = "test_doc.pdf";
  if (argc >= 2) {
   
    test_doc = argv[1];
  }
  printf("test_doc: %s\n", test_doc);

  FPDF_InitLibrary();

  FPDF_DOCUMENT doc = FPDF_LoadDocument(test_doc, NULL);
  if (!</
