Hello.
I am here to propose a collaboration between gnupdf.org people and
pdfreaders.org people.
Let's liberate pdf. :)

Hi Graziano,

> great website but I would link it to the gnupdf.org website.
Yes, you're right we should also add a link to this page in the more
information part. Henner, Stian: Can you take care of that?
Do you know them? It would be good if they could also add a link to
pdfreaders.org.
> Let's work together to liberate pdf. :)
Yeah :)
Best wishes,
Matthias

Hello,
I am the Okular maintainer, and I just knew about the pdfreaders.org
initiative, nice!
I have just few notes/questions more:
a) I'd like to put a button (and a link) in okular.kde.org to pdfreaders.org,
but the current graphics is basically a "get reader" one, that does not look
quite ideal when a user is already visiting the website of one of the readers
of the initiative ;) Is there a button just to "promote" the site?
b) Could you please add http://mac.kde.org as MacOSX source, and
http://windows.kde.org as Windows source? (both for Okular only, of course)
c) KPDF is basically almost unmaintained (Okular is its KDE 4 replacement and
enhanced version), so could you put it at the end of the software list?
Cheers,

Hi,
I'd like to use the logos at
http://www.pdfreaders.org/graphics.fr.html - but I'd like to present a
French logo to my non-English-speaking visitors.
Do you have an XCF file that I could easily edit to properly alter the
text (without messing the gradient)?
Thanks!

Hi, as I'm fellow of the FSFE, I recently received the announcement of
the new site pdfreaders.org. I think it's a very good idea and I would
like to contribute by translating it to Spanish. How can I do that? Are
there any templates from which webgen generates the page?
Thank you,

Hi Stian, Hi Henner,
I hope you enjoy the holidays. Just thought it might be better to change
the title (not the menu item) from "The Readers" on
http://www.pdfreaders.org/index.html to "PDFreaders.org -- Free Software
PDF readers". I do not know if that also helps us with better results
from the search engines.
Best wishes,
Matthias

Hello Hannes,
Oops, sorry didn't see that at first. Agree we don't qualify...
Using our software is free, it can be redistributed, it is updated every
8 months, it isn't crippleware, there are no use restrictions, but we do
not provide access to the source code for improvements since our CSF
format is intended for content security purposes. Drats.
Thanks,
Gary

Hello Gary,
I just looked at the page you refer to and I don't think that your
software
meets the criteria for being listed on our page: being "free as in
freedom",
not only "free as in free beer". This distinction is very important to
us.
If I misinterpreted your homepage and your PDF-Viewer does indeed offer
the
four freedoms described / referred to on pdfreaders.org, it will of
course be
added.
With kind Regards and Holiday Greetings,
Hannes Hauswedell

Hi,
Thanks for the site, it's great to finally have an alternative for the "Get
Acrobat Reader"-Link.
It just seems that there is one thing missing, I know it's PDF Readers, not
Writers, but a lot of people do not consider the possibility to write PDFs,
and a lot of them say they really can't. It would be very good to have a page
to direct them where they can easily find information about pdfforge or other
(Windows-)PDF-Printers. BTW: pdfwriters.org is not yet registered.
Best wishes!
Thomas
