Subject: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 4.00 - 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. *** The Xpdf web site has moved to www.xpdfreader.com *** 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. Major changes: * Complete rewrite of the xpdf GUI, using Qt instead of Motif. * Multithreaded rasterization in the viewer - pages are now rasterized in a separate thread so that scrolling and other UI activity is not blocked. * Added a linear text selection mode. 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. More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are on the xpdf web page: http://www.xpdfreader.com/ For information on commercial licensing and consulting, please see the Glyph & Cog web site: http://www.glyphandcog.com/
