Tomeu:

Updated example using fresh master evince and master gnome-python-desktop with your patch #604751:

import evince
import gtk

window = gtk.Window()
window.show()

view = evince.View()
document = evince.document_factory_get_document ('file:///home/jjmarin/Desktop/ejemplo.pdf')
document_model = evince.DocumentModel()
document_model.set_document(document)
view.set_model(document_model)
view.set_presentation(True)

window.add(view)
view.show()

gtk.main()

I already done a latex preview for gedit using python poppler. I am looking forward to release code somewhere, when it gets more stable.

Yes, this trend towards widgets in separate libraries is really promising. Think of a LaTeX-Plugin for gedit with integrated document preview through an embedded evince widget. :-)

And a document viewer plugin for web browsers that has it's own set of minimalistic controls makes much more sense than simply embedding a complex application into a web browser window.

I think the Sugar project has done quite a lot for the GNOME project as a whole.

Yes, that's a big problem for us, specially because the new screens that are getting in the market have much higher resolutions, thus having to store lots more of pixels.

Reinout: I find it sometimes useful to have a PDF in just another browser tab next to some thematically related web sites, instead of having it in a separate window showing up in the taskbar.

I still can't fathom why people would prefer viewing a PDF inside a web browser window, as opposed to in a viewer (evince) that was optimized for it.

Thanks for your interest, you can track the process here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=568287

As you can see, there are still some (small) issues that need to be solved before the bindings will accepted, but I hope those will be solved soon.

libevview allows you to do both, see here:

Yes, Sayamindu Dasgupta already wrote a small python script that embeds evince plus some controls and then used mozplugger to put it inside mozilla:
