- @@@STARTPACK(xpdf;xpdf - an Adobe(tm) PDF Viewer)
-
- <P>xpdf is simply a viewer for the Adobe Portable Documentation Format.
- The GhostScript package, also on Skunkware, also supports the viewing
- of PDF files. XPDF is a very useful
- addition to any X11 system, especially if you browse technical documents
- on the Web, as many such documents are published in PDF format.</P>
- <P>
- Leo Smiers has written decryption code for xpdf -- you can now view
- encrypted PDF files with xpdf.
- However, cryptography code is subject to export
- restrictions in the USA, so we are unable to distribute precompiled versions.
- If you would like to compile a decrypting version of xpdf, you can download
- the necessary patches either from
- <A HREF="http://www.aimnet.com/~derekn/xpdf/">the xpdf home page</A>
- or go straight to
- <A HREF="http://people.a2000.nl/lsmiers/pdf/xpdf.html">
- Leo's xpdf page.</A>
