Hi Andrzej,

We need to display documents on custom display (no X11) arm linux.
Easiest way is to utilize existing PDF reader and just convert them
with LO. Am I wrong?

        Well - it remains to be seen :-) quite probably our Android work will
end up giving us a nice backend to render documents incrementally to
pixels, without having the native UI - at least, as a first cut.

Also lately I found that we might use VCL as entry point and override
necessary stuff to make our display accessible to app. But as I said
we need only to display - not edit.

        Sure - so that shouldn't be -so- hard. We already have pure native-code
that renders things to abstract pixel arrays, that is used by the gtk3,
headless, and android backends - it shouldn't be impossibly hard to
re-purpose that to your display system I guess.

        HTH,

                Michael.
