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/ |
