- Subject: ANNOUNCE: xpdf 0.6 - a PDF viewer for X
-
-
- I've just released a new version of xpdf, my Portable Document Format
- (PDF) viewer for X.
-
- If you've wanted to look at PDF files, but couldn't because Adobe
- didn't have a viewer for your system, you'll want to check out xpdf.
-
- Changes in version 0.6:
-
- * Basic support for PDF 1.2 files
- * Better font support
- * Print directly from xpdf -- '|lpr'
- * Fixed links between files
- * Fixed several bugs in PostScript output
- * Lots of other little things (see the `CHANGES' file)
-
- (I have decryption code, but I'm not releasing it until I figure out
- how to get around the U.S. export restrictions.)
-
- Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
- compile for UNIX or VMS.
-
- Binaries are available for:
-
- * Linux 2.0 ELF (x86)
- * AIX 4.1 (PowerPC)
- * SunOS 4.1 (SPARC)
- * Ultrix 4.4 (MIPS)
- * OSF/1 3.2 (Alpha)
- * HP-UX 9.05 (HP-PA)
-
- More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are at:
-
- http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/usr/dn0o/xpdf/xpdf.html
- ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/xpdf/
-
- Source and Linux binaries are on sunsite.unc.edu, currently in
- /pub/Linux/Incoming but they will be moved to:
-
- ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/xapps/graphics/viewers/
