-Xpdf
-====
-
-version 4.03
-2021-jan-28
-
-The Xpdf software and documentation are
-copyright 1996-2021 Glyph & Cog, LLC.
-
-Email: xpdf@xpdfreader.com
-WWW: http://www.xpdfreader.com/
-
-The PDF data structures, operators, and specification are
-documented in ISO 32000-2:2020.
-
-
-What is Xpdf?
--------------
-
-Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
-files. (These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from
-the name of Adobe's PDF software.) The Xpdf project also includes a
-PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other
-utilities.
-
-The Xpdf viewer uses the Qt cross-platform GUI toolkit. The other
-command line utilties do not require Qt.
-
-
-License & Distribution
-----------------------
-
-Xpdf is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), version 2
-or 3. This means that you can distribute derivatives of Xpdf under
-any of the following:
- - GPL v2 only
- - GPL v3 only
- - GPL v2 or v3
-
-The Xpdf source package includes the text of both GPL versions:
-COPYING for GPL v2, COPYING3 for GPL v3.
-
-Please note that Xpdf is NOT licensed under "any later version" of the
-GPL, as I have no idea what those versions will look like.
-
-If you are redistributing unmodified copies of Xpdf (or any of the
-Xpdf tools) in binary form, you need to include all of the
-documentation: README, man pages (or help files), COPYING, and
-COPYING3.
-
-If you want to incorporate the Xpdf source code into another program
-(or create a modified version of Xpdf), and you are distributing that
-program, you have two options: release your program under the GPL (v2
-and/or v3), or purchase a commercial Xpdf source license.
-
-If you're interested in commercial licensing, please see the Glyph &
-Cog web site:
-
- http://www.glyphandcog.com/
-
-
-Compatibility
--------------
-
-Xpdf uses the Qt toolkit and runs on Linux, Windows, and OS X -- and
-probably other systems that have a Qt port.
-
-The non-GUI command line utilities (pdftops, pdftotext, pdftohtml,
-pdfinfo, pdffonts, pdfdetach, pdftoppm, pdftopng, and pdfimages) run
-on Linux, Windows, and OS X -- and should run on pretty much any
-system with a decent C++ compiler.
-
-If you compile Xpdf for a system not listed on the web page, please
-let me know. If you're willing to make your binary available by ftp
-or on the web, I'll be happy to add a link from the Xpdf web page. I
-have decided not to host any binaries I didn't compile myself (for
-disk space and support reasons).
-
-If you can't get Xpdf to compile on your system, send me email and
-I'll try to help.
-
-
-Getting Xpdf
-------------
-
-The latest version is available from:
-
- http://www.xpdfreader.com/
-
-Source code and several precompiled executables are available.
-
-Announcements of new versions are posted to comp.text.pdf and emailed
-to a list of people. If you'd like to receive email notification of
-new versions, just let me know.
-
-
-Running Xpdf
-------------
-
-To run xpdf, simply type:
-
- xpdf file.pdf
-
-To generate a PostScript file, run pdftops:
-
- pdftops file.pdf
-
-To generate a plain text file, run pdftotext:
-
- pdftotext file.pdf
-
-There are several additional utilities (which are fully described in
-their man pages):
-
- pdftohtml -- converts a PDF file to HTML
- pdfinfo -- dumps a PDF file's Info dictionary (plus some other
- useful information)
- pdffonts -- lists the fonts used in a PDF file along with various
- information for each font
- pdfdetach -- lists or extracts embedded files (attachments) from a
- PDF file
- pdftoppm -- converts a PDF file to a series of PPM/PGM/PBM-format
- bitmaps
- pdftopng -- converts a PDF file to a series of PNG image files
- pdfimages -- extracts the images from a PDF file
-
-Command line options and many other details are described in the man
-pages: xpdf(1), etc.
-
-All of these utilities read an optional configuration file: see the
-xpdfrc(5) man page.
-
-
-Compiling Xpdf
---------------
-
-See the separate file, INSTALL.
-
-
-Bugs
-----
-
-If you find a bug in Xpdf, i.e., if it prints an error message,
-crashes, or incorrectly displays a document, and you don't see that
-bug listed here, please send me email, with a pointer (URL, ftp site,
-etc.) to the PDF file.
-
-
-Third-Party Libraries
----------------------
-
-Xpdf uses the following libraries:
-* FreeType [http://www.freetype.org/]
-* libpng [http://www.libpng.com/pub/png/libpng.html] (used by pdftohtml
- and pdftopng)
-* zlib [http://zlib.net/] (used by pdftohtml)
-
