java - Displaying pdf in JavaFX -

developing desktop application in javafx requires display pdf. read there no support pdf viewing/displaying in javafx(current version), read jpedal too.

now, questions:

1. is there external component or library view pdf in javafx? should freeware.
2. (if have use jpedal) how can embed in application.

jpedalfx sample code , usage

sample code on using jpedalfx provided jpedalfx download.

kind of lame on part, i'll paste snippets sample code here have been copied sample viewer provided jpedalfx library. code relies on jpedal_lgpl.jar file included jpedalfx distribution being on classpath (or library path referenced in manifest of application jar).

should have further questions regarding usage of jpedalfx, suggest contact idr solutions directly (they have been responsive me in past).

swinglabs pdf renderer

additionaly, used old swinglabs swing based pdf renderer javafx in past rendering pdf's javafx web browser. although swing/javafx integration wasn't supported feature of javafx @ time developed browser, still worked fine me. code integration in pdfviewer.java , browserwindow.java.

note embedding javafx in swing app supported in java 2.2 , embedding swing app in javafx supported in java 8.
