- 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/
-
