A cold day in hell :-) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Derek B. Noonburg Date: 2011/8/16 Subject: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 3.03 - a PDF viewer for X Glyph & Cog, LLC is pleased to announce a new version of Xpdf, the open source Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer for X.  The Xpdf project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities. Xpdf runs under the X Window System on Unix, VMS, and OS/2.  The non-X components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems and should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler. Major changes: * Added the "fixed pitch" text extraction mode. * Modified "pdftops -paper match" to handle PDF files with  different-sized pages, i.e., it will now select the matching paper  size on a page-by-page basis. * Add ability for pdftoppm to write to stdout. * Added the pdfdetach tool. * Implemented 256-bit AES decryption. * Commented out the t1lib section in the configure script -- t1lib has  some potential security holes, and hasn't been updated in years. * Redesigned the font configuration xpdfrc commands: removed the  displayFontT1, displayFontTT, displayNamedCIDFontT1,  displayCIDFontT1, displayNamedCIDFontTT, displayCIDFontTT, psFont,  psNamedFont16, and psFont16 commands; added the fontFile,  fontFileCC, psResidentFont, psResidentFont16, and psResidentFontCC  commands. * Switched from GPLv2 to dual v2/v3 licensing. See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list of changes. Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to compile for UNIX, VMS, OS/2, and Win32. 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/ For information on commercial licensing and consulting, please see the Glyph & Cog web site:    http://www.glyphandcog.com/
