PDF Viewer DLL?

The following example shows how to:
- resize/maximize Sumatra window,
- display bookmarks panel on start.

That is, using the UPX directly in the normal compilation, reduce it more!

Please let me note, that using UPX, if there are no really good reasons to do so, is not a good idea.
And simply reducing the size of executable isn't alone a good reason, since the drawbacks
are significantly more than advantages.-
The same applies for embedding big binaries (like sumatraPDF.exe) into executable.

Using an archiver, like for example the excellent 7-zip, is a much better solution.

In my case, the app, updates itself automatically via the network, and since some clients has slow/unstable connections, minimizing the executable size, saves me a lot of problems, but I agree with you, that if there is no need, it is preferable to avoid EXE compression.

Maybe I should change my updater to work with .7z compressed updates and omit UPX use.
