You probably could actually. With AutoHotkey_L's ActiveX Gui option it might be possible (either show PDF in IE browser or specific pdf ActiveX viewer).
Now before you ask "how" or "any hints": I have no clue how to make such a thing.

And he asks in a "ToolTip"...
It means : extract the text from the PDF...

@codekiller: you don't understand. You can "extract" the PATH from the tooltip, use that info to show the PDF (you have the path remember) in a AutoHotkey Gui with Activex control. You make design + position the Gui anyway you please.

Oh and if it is "just the text" it is really a piece cake, no activex required.

thanks garry

how this script displays pdf files? it should use a pdf rendering library, right?

from a little research I did, MuPDF seems to be the fastest rendering app, so maybe using this to achieve this, will be faster?

the pdf or xps files are in a folder , needs lbbrowse3.dll ( ahk_script downloads if not exist )
( small modifications to read also other extensions )
usually I use FoxitReader
Code:
TMR     =c:\M_DOCTXT     ;-- your path , here are files pdf / xps
EXT1    =pdf,xps
;......................
LV_Delete()
Loop, %tmr%\*.*, 0, 1
  {
  SplitPath,A_LoopFileFullPath, name, dir, ext, name_no_ext, drive
  If Ext In %ext1%
     LV_Add("",A_LoopFileName,A_LoopFileFullPath)
  }
;......................



( I use FoxitReader )

I cant find which part of the code exactly reads the pdf document

anyway, I am planning to use MuPDF, as the supposed fastest pdf rendering app, but to complete my project I need to:

1) identify whats under the cursor to trigger appropriately the MuPDF
2) load that specific pdf file to MuPDF

which commands do I need for each?

thanks!

isnt there a way to parse a file location to a program and open that file with that program?

also isnt there a way to use on-hover events as triggers?
