Subject: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 4.05 - a PDF viewer and related tools Glyph & Cog, LLC is pleased to announce a new version of Xpdf, the open source Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer. The Xpdf project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities. Xpdf uses the Qt toolkit and runs on Linux and Windows. The non-graphical components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) run on Linux, Unix, Windows, MacOSX, and pretty much any other system with a decent C++ compiler. 4.05 is primarily a bug fix release. There are some new features: * New command line options/features: - Added the '-overwrite' option to pdftohtml. - Added the '-custom' flag to pdfinfo. - Added the '-meta' flag to pdftohtml. - Added the 'uses JavaScript' output to pdfinfo. * New configuration options: - Added the 'ignoreWrongSizeToUnicode' xpdfrc setting. - Added the zoomScaleFactor xpdfrc setting. - Added the zoomValues xpdfrc setting. - Added the separateRotatedText xpdfrc setting. - Added the allowLinksToChangeZoom xpdfrc setting. * XpdfReader improvements: - Added the loadSession and saveSession commands, and the 'Load last session' menu item. - Added code to automatically save and restore the xpdf session under control of a session manager. (This has not been thoroughly tested yet.) - Added a 'smart case' option for search in xpdf. - Added a color/gray/mono switch to the 'save image' dialog. 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 Linux and Windows.
