using QuickLook from an application?


  • Subject: using QuickLook from an application?

I'd like to be able to invoke the QuickLook server from my application
to obtain PDF or RTF preview versions of MS-Office Documents before
opening them.  The capability exists; you can see it in Finder, for
instance.  But I can't see how to invoke it from a client.  The only
useful call I can make is QLThumbnailImageCreate(), which unfortunately
is for single-page data.  Symmetry tells me there should be something
like QLPreviewDocumentCreate(), but I don't see it anywhere.

What am I missing?  Surely Apple wouldn't keep such a useful facility
out of the hands of developers?

Bill
