- I have to disagree with you completly.
- I know of atleast two programs that can read pdf files and one is running on
- my Amiga and the other one might be useful too since it is a bit smaller.
- Source alone is ~200K and the big one >1.5M
-
- Ghostscript 3.53 is under construction as of today. I'll need to merge the
- changes from 3.51 to 3.53 and recompile and check it.
- Then I hope that I can upload it to Aminet this weekend (really) in both
- source and binary forms.
- Binaries will be: 68000 and 68020+softfloat, both *not* using ixemul.library.
- Anyone who want to have a faster version or one that uses ixemul.library can
- recompile from scratch.
- I think I'll include most popular fileformats. Printing can be done through
- the Amiga driver which also supports IFF saving.
-
- Suggestions are always welcome,
-
