[Gambas-user] Understanding how to use gb.poppler instead of gb.pdf

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

In several projects I have used gb.pdf to show PDF files (mostly as a 
printing preview). With qt5 and newer Linux versions it might be wise to 
use the newer gb.poppler instead. At least the gb.pdf is deprecated.

In a first trial I simply replaced the library and expected to be lead 
by the help texts how to use gb.poppler. But as it turned out, the help 
was of no help.

For instance, a simple .Open(PathToFile) seems not possible anymore, but 
there is no indication at all on how to load and show a pdf.

Could someone explain to me how to achieve this? And maybe we should 
complete the help texts, especially with simple examples of how to 
handle PDF files in gb.poppler.
