For users of doc2html.pl & pdftotext... --- begin forwarded message from Derek B. Noonburg --- Date: 24 Mar 2003 19:58:01 -0000 Message-ID: <200...@fo...> From: "Derek B. Noonburg" <de...@fo...> Subject: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 2.02 - 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: * 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. 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/ --- end forwarded message from Derek B.
