Most people who will be using this barely knows how to use a computer.
Having multiple windows open would cause greater confusion.

Just to get an idea, this app will be run fullscreen from an autorun CD.

Oh. *That* kind of app, eh? Under Linux, you can probably embed poppler, but under Windows, I don't know what you'd do. I suppose go with your idea of converting to an image and then displaying that.
evince and gpdf can't currently print pdfs very well at all. They
have major issues with spacing and alignment - particularly with pdfs generated by PDF::API2 ... trust me ... this is just what we do :(

Interesting.  Is there any reason for this? badly generated pdfs from
PDF::API2?

Poppler bugs.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3391
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5347

I got the 1st one fixed by the xpdf author, but I'm not convinced that the fix has been integrated into poppler ( which is forked from xpdf ). Not a lot has happened on either bug page. I'm not too concerned as long as Adobe's reader continues to work.
