jajaj Fernando.. the method i described its the same you do.. but you using
pdf instead html

just invoked a "own" localhost running inside project, same behaviour are
used by the gambas IDE when you run a WEB project..

same as for html..  but changing the open call by a httpd run process in
private port and send a exec to browser to open the local running httpd
"own" webserver

the gambas ide do the same for web projects.. rund their own embebed http
web server and start a browser..

instead use a embebed http webserver you can use the gb.httpd component
that does/usage are the same..

as i described.. if you want a example run a new web gambas project, and in
a console see the process with ps and its basically that i described...
