Embedding into single exe #81

Closed cipri-tom closed 8 years ago

cipri-tom commented 8 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to embed PdfiumViewer into the exe so that the app can be 'portable', without dependencies? I have tried using Costura.Fody, but somehow the native library cannot be found by PdfiumViewer once this has been embedded.

Thank you!

I don't know about Fody, but what I would do is add the native dll as an embedded resource, extract it to a temporary location and do a LoadLibrary on that. When you close the application, after you make sure all PdfiumViewer controls are disposed, you can unload the library and delete it.
