Hello everybody, just a short notice. There is a new section (Windows pdf editor gui) at http://www.pdfedit.cz with a windows installer available. *nix version will (hopefully) follow shortly. --- PDFedit team |

Hello everybody, I am pleased to announce another PDFedit release. This one is (like usual) a bug fix release. It fixes one potential regression caused by xpdf code base refactoring. It also fixes long term bug where PDFedit could creat an invalid PDF if a new object has been added under certain conditions. We have also fixed an issue when some characters changed unexpectedly in some documents (e.g. created by OpenOffice) after any change has been done to the page. We strongly encourage everybody to update to this version. Thanks -- PDFedit team |

Hello everybody, I am pleased to announce that we have (after long pause) released another bugfix release of PDFEdit. We strongly recommend updating (especially if you are working with untrusted documents) as this release contains several bug fixes and security fixes. The biggest highlights: - Low-level changes - thanks to Ron Kaminsky we now have a way how to write raw objects to the file if somebody needs this functionality - PDF trailer can be edited now - e.g. document author etc. - Security fixes - xpdf codebase updated to 3.02pl4 which addresses several security issues: CVE-2009-1188/CVE-2009-3603, CVE-2009-3604, CVE-2009-3606, CVE-2009-3608, CVE-2009-3609. - pdfedit-core-dev - API cleaned up - config/pdfedit-core-dev.m4 configure macro added which can be used by 3rd party applications for proper library detection Check the Changelog for complete list of changes. -- Michal Hocko |

Hi all, I am pleased to announced new PDFedit (this time with version 0.4.3) release which is (like previous) bug-fix mostly oriented with some minor features: - xpdf code base has been updated to the upstream 3.02pl3 version which fixes several serious remote security issues (CVE-2009-0146, CVE-2009-0147, CVE-2009-0166, CVE-2009-0799, CVE-2009-0800, CVE-2009-1179, CVE-2009-1180, CVE-2009-1181, CVE-2009-1182, CVE-2009-1183) which affect also PDFedit. - new Flattener tool implemented which flattens a multi-revision document into one single-revision document - Revisions has been changed to provide stable numbering - meaning that revisions keep their numbers after new revision is created. - as usual bugfixes reported in bugzilla (15 and cleanup some old rotting ones) Now we are planning to stabilize API for pdfedit-core-dev subpackage so that it can be useable as soon as possible for small one-shot tools. Besides that we are working on porting parts of application to Windows platform (without cygwin in the path). Last, but not least, is big port of GUI to QT4 which should help with many usability/bug issues. We strongly encourage to update as soon as possible. You can download, as usual, at sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit/files/ Best regads -- Michal Hocko |

Hi, I am happy to announce that PDFedit 0.4.2 was released today. This is not killer feature release and mostly covers bug fixes (~27 bug fixes). Nevertheless it comes also with some new features. Namely * new translations (French, Traditional Chinese, German) * possibility to build only core functionality as static libraries. We encourage distributors to create separate package pdfedit-core-dev (see README for more information) to enable 3rd party code to use our PDF modification API. * better build system (see README) - parallel make according available processors - better compatibility with some 64b distributions - we have dropped dependency on boost-iostreams - modified released or CVS differ in version for better bug reporting * changed streams are encoded with FlateDecode compression algorithm (modified documents are smaller) And some other changes - see Changelog. We hope that this release will be handy. Best regards and don't hasitate to ask if something is not clear on our pdfedit-support mailing list. -- Michal Hocko |

Hi everybody, I have just commited all the infrastructure needed for pdfedit-core-dev package into our CVS. What does it mean? PDFedit source now comes with possibility of installation which can contain only header files and libraries so that 3rd party applications can build their functionality on this external package. All you need to do is configure with --enable-pdfedit-core-dev parameter and type use standard make && make install procedure. This also enables packagers to prepare separate package (called e.g. pdfedit-core-dev) which would do these steps for you and you can simple depend on external package rather than do everything by hand. (packagers will probably want to prevent GUI from being compiled for devel package, so they should use ./configure --disable-gui --enable-pdfedit-core-dev WHATEVE_RPREFIX_YOU_USE) I would be very happy, if packagers registered on this list could try the current CVS sources and give me feedback so that we can fix some problems before we do next release (please reply to the devel mailing list). Thanks and best regards -- Michal Hocko |

Hi. After messy friday release, we have finally released corrected tarball. Problem was caused by our release script which excluded src/kernel/Makefile from distribution tarball (because we used to have qmake project file in src/kernel and Makefile was generated). Also one small bug in src/gui/pdfedit.pro file has been fixed (./configure && make install could lead to binary not being installed). Hopefully this one will be ok. Once again, sorry for that. And motto: Never ever try to do anything important on Friday ;) -- Michal Hocko |

Stop. You are right. Problem is in our script for making distribution tarballs which excluded this file (because in previous releases we use qmake generated makefile also for kernel). Sorry for that. Unfortunatelly, Martin is out until tomorow, so he can upload fixed tarball then. Please wait or use attached makefile. Once again, sorry for that. -- Michal Hocko |

We, PDFedit team, are glad to inform you, that new release has just been thrown to the public. It is rather long time since last 0.3.2 release, but hopefully this one addresses: - compilation/installation issues - we have introduced new more unified and compact makefiles infrastructure. No more several stages configuration (xpdf subtree issues), configure script respects some more standard parameters for installation targets, boost, cppunit and other dependencies are checked better and many more (see README file for complete information). We hope that packagers will have easier lives and don't need any hacks or workarounds anymore. - many bug fixes (see Changelog) some of them security related. - last 3.02 xpdf code base imported to the tree. This bring some new features like anti-aliasing for vectored graphics, support for PDF 1.6, 1.7 specification, security fixes and many others (see src/xpdf/CHANGES for complete changelog). - Tango icon theme added (thans to Tiziano Mattei). - kernel, xpdf, utils and tests are now ported and compileable in MS Window (vc2005 project for Visual Studio is available) - and last but not least a lots of internal changes and cleanups We are looking forward to your feedback and reports in our bugtracer if something goes wrong. -- Michal Hocko |

Hi. I have released 4.2 version of unified makefiles patch set which is now available in CVS for testing. It contains fixes for problems reported by Varun and Martin and --with-qmake-dir parameter was replaced by --with-qmake which can be used for explicit qmake binary location definition. Tested platforms/architectures: Debian (lenny) 32b Fedora core 5 OpenSuse 10.3 32b Gentoo 32b, 64b FreeBSD 6.2 Please update this list with OK or fail results. P.S. See first announce email for more information how to get sources and how to test. -- Michal Hocko |

Hi. I would like to announce that unified makefiles development branch was merged to the upstream today. Main target of this branch is to simplify makefile structure and tight it better to the configuration process. This will be included also in upcoming next release. I would like to ask you for help with testing. README file contains all details about configure options. However if you need some assistance, feel free to ask via pdf...@li... (if you are not list member write me before and I can allow your email address). I have already tried: * Debian (lenny/sid) 32b OK * OpenSuse 10.3 32b OK * Gentoo 64b OK I would especially like to see some feedback from packagers and their feeling about these changes. All comments are welcome. Thx in advance Quick list of new features: --------------------------- - xpdf configuration was merged with the main configuration - new Makefile.flags file which contains common logic for compilation (all makefiles from subdirectories include this file and provide only subdirectory specific stuff) - no hacks for freetype2 detection - type1 font libraries detection - checks for CPPUNIT, boost libraries and docbook - possibility to configure-out whole gui (only xpdf, kernel libraries are created - for future pdfedit-devel package purposes) --disable-gui - qmake detection directly in configure - --enable-kernel-tests option for configure - creates also kernel tests - --enable-debug-info option added for configure - this is checked only if we have --enable-relase and want to have binaries also with debug information - --enable-qt3 option added for configure - use Qt4 for --disable-qt3 - --enable-doxygen-doc added for configure - generates doxygen documentation only if required (turned off by default) - checks for doxygen binary if turned on - --enable-advanced-doc added for configure - generates design documentation (turned off by default) - checks docbook - --with-root-dir added for configure - sets root directory where to install - --enable-stack-protector added for configure - enables -fstack-protector compiler option (turned off by default) - includes in kernel, utils and xpdf consolidated so they include with specified subtree (e.g. #include "cpage.h" -> #include "kernel/cpage.h". This enables to move header files without code change (only -I compiler parameter has to be changed). This is preparation for future devel package with libraries and exported header files. - online help for gui is generated during distribution tarball creation and it is extracted from doc/Makefile path. - (un)installation targets don't depend directly on gui and they are configured in ./configure script Best regards -- Michal Hocko |

Today, I have added Tango icon theme created by Tiziano Mattei for PDFedit. The first version of the new theme is now in CVS. As it looks nicer than the current default hicolor icon theme, I suggest it will become the default theme in new PDFedit versions. The icon theme can be switched in Tools -> Options -> Look and Feel -> Icon theme. (pdfedit needs to be restarted for new icon theme to take effect) Suggestions and/or critics (or bug reports :) of new icon theme are welcome.
