Subject: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 2.00 - a PDF viewer for X
|
|
|
|
|
|
Glyph & Cog, LLC is pleased to announce a new version of Xpdf, the
|
|
open source Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer for X. The Xpdf
|
|
project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript
|
|
converter, and various other utilities.
|
|
|
|
Xpdf runs under the X Window System on Unix, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X
|
|
components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems and
|
|
should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.
|
|
|
|
Major changes:
|
|
* Switched to the Motif toolkit.
|
|
* Support multiple open documents (in separate windows).
|
|
* Added document outlines to the viewer.
|
|
* Modified the text extraction (placement) algorithm.
|
|
* Implemented the JBIG2 decoder.
|
|
|
|
See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list of changes.
|
|
|
|
Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
|
|
compile for UNIX, VMS, OS/2, and Win32.
|
|
|
|
More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are on the
|
|
xpdf web page and ftp site:
