xPDF Description
Free and open source PDF viewer 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.Xpdf runs under the X Window System on UNIX (including Mac OS X), 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.Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient, and it can use Type 1, TrueType, or standard X fonts. Xpdf should work on pretty much any system which runs X11 and has Unix-like (POSIX) libraries. You will also need ANSI C++ and C compilers to compile it.NOTE: The downloadable binary package includes the non X-windows stuff from XPDF, including pdftotext (see pstotext above). Includes also pdffonts, pdfimages, pdfinfo, pdftops and a sample COCOA wrapper showing how to easily integrate these tools with Finder. Binaries compiled as UB based on version 3.02pl1of XPDF.
