How does it work ?

You can use this Pdf reader like you would for any standard tkinter's widget. It got the same options and methods than a Frame widget, with a few additions :

• Two options at instantiation : defaultMode (default viewing mode) and filepath (automatic call to the load method below)
• One public method : load (load a new pdf document in the reader)

Here is a quick exemple :

from tkinter import Tk
from TkPdfWidget import PdfReader

tk = Tk()
tk.title("simple example")
reader = PdfReader(tk, width=500, height=600, fp="CodeCivil.pdf")
reader.pack()
tk.mainloop()

• tkinter (obviously)
