Hi everyone, for those who want try another nice pdf reader, here are three package:

Great job! One note: I would suggest you uploading these right to the unstable pdaXrom feed. Contact Laze with the desired login/password, and he would create an account for you. All the packages in unstable feed came that way.

There is a new version of qpdf2 on Sourceforge, the first update in two years. It is described as a cleanup and bug fix release, platform independent source. The wizards at pdaXrom and OZ gave up on porting it earlier because the code was full of messy hacks. If this new version can be compiled now for pdaXrom it would be a very significant addition to the capabilities of the device, as it had many useful features that xpdf lacks. I suspect it will take a good bit of experience to get it working and hope someone will give it a try.

I would love to have the text extraction like on Cackos Qpdf reader.... it makes reading my electronic magazines pdfs so handy in the past.

My wish - to have a Command & Conquer style game on my Z! (FREECNC!!!) Simcity 2000 would also be great.

I looked at source. Archive has 17M because it contain all objects, binaries, own copies of freetype library etc..

There is a README with info for those crazy people who want to build it which I summary in few words: "hack here, hack there, #define private public so it will build".

In other words - qpdf 2.3.0-snapshot looks like previous release - lots of hacks in includes needed etc stuff. I suspect that noone will be so crazy to try to build it for OZ (atleast not someone from OZ/OE team).
