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: * Rewrote the text extractor code that assembles words into lines to better handle vertically overlapping lines. * Add the "match" option for paper size (in PostScript output). * Added support for external 16-bit TrueType fonts; added the displayCIDFontTT and displayNamedCIDFontTT commands to the xpdfrc file. * Added an Arabic language support package. * Added the Windows-1255 encoding to the Hebrew language package.
See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list of changes.
I'll integrate it next week (i.e. hopefully before DANTE2003) and thus start work on 1.11a Best regards Martin -- Martin Schröder, MS@ArtCom-GmbH.DE ArtCom GmbH, Lise-Meitner-Str 5, 28359 Bremen, Germany Voice +49 421 20419-44 / Fax +49 421 20419-10
