in reply to Viewing a PDF file from a Perl program
Acrobat reader comes with an Active X object that lives in PDF.OCX. You can get all the details on the interface here.
There are PDF to everything converters. Google for them. Foolabs has some good PDF related GPL tools
I you have an app that need to view PDF and you want a windowing environment it begs the question what's wrong with a Browser/CGI app - just pop the PDF in a new window. Potentially a lot easier than anything else as all the work has been done for you. Followed by a jpg conversion with creating Active X containers and automating it following up the rear.
cheers
