<p>is it possible? 
i'm only experienced using wxpython for deleveloping gui application. I just heard poppler can support rendering pdf, but i did not found any snippet or example. please help.</p>

<p>If you are looking for how to create a wxPython PDF viewer, I've found a couple of examples. The first one uses Poppler as you mentioned in conjunction with wxPython:</p>

</ul>

<p>It's a pretty old example, so I don't know how well it works now. The other one I found uses PyMuPDF and fitz and was published this year (2016):</p>

</ul>

<p>If you happen to be on Windows, wxPython comes with an ActiveX wrapper around Adobe's reader. You can read more about it here:</p>
