How to display a pdf file - arbiel - Apr-04-2020
Hi
I'm migrating a bash script I coded, which reads pdf files (pages of a ancient greek to french dictionnary) and displays them to the user. I tried the pipes methods, without success as the pdf viewer does not seem able to display what it get on /dev/stdin.
Has anybody an idea on how I can achieve this goal ?

Depends a bit on which graphics package you are using.
If Tkinter, try https://www.codespeedy.com/how-to-create-a-pdf-viewer-using-python/

This works for me:
>>>import webbrowser as wb
>>> wb.open('test.pdf')

Thank at both of you
I've tried steve_shambles's solution and I'm quite happy with it.
