Subject: ANNOUNCE: xpdf 0.80 - a PDF viewer for X
I've just released a new version of xpdf, my Portable Document Format
(PDF) viewer for X.
Xpdf runs under the X Window System on Unix, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X
components of the package (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32
systems.
!!! Please note my new email/web/ftp addresses. !!!
The most noticeable changes are:
* Support for some Japanese fonts (Type 0 fonts using the
Adobe-Japan1-2 character collection, horizontal only).
* Added pdfinfo application.
* Added pdftopbm application.
* Added pdfimages application.
* Xpdf is now licensed under the GPL.
See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list.
Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
compile for UNIX, VMS, or OS/2.
More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are on the
xpdf web page and ftp site:
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/
ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/
Source and Linux binaries are on sunsite.unc.edu, currently in
the incoming directory, but they will be moved to:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/viewers/X
The following will be available soon --
RPM packages for RedHat 5.x Linux systems:
ftp://contrib.redhat.com/
Decryption patches:
ftp://ftp.sci.usq.edu.au/pub/linux/xpdf/
Decryption-enabled Linux binaries:
ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/replay/linux/redhat/
