Do you mean that "Additional software may be required to use this program"? I think that is a catch-all.

List of Open PDF Standards
by fleasoft＠gmx.net 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

GERMAN VERSION BELOW Hi all, your website reads: "There are several different versions of it, some qualifying as an Open Standard..." while you don't offer a list of versions that do qualify. This would be of much more interest than the definition of an open standard. If you see any chance to add this information (which PDF version is a) an open standard, b) certified by ISO and c) encumbered by software patents), please do so. best regards, Florian ============================================================ Hallo zusammen, eure Website sagt: "Von PDF existieren verschiedene Versionen, von denen manche ein Offener Standard [...] sind.", während ihr keine Information darüber anbietet, auf welche Versionen das zutrifft. Das wäre aber viel interessanter als (nur) die Definition von "Offener Standard". Wenn ihr eine Möglichkeit seht, diese Information zu ergänzen (welche PDF-Versionen a) ein offener Standard, b) von der ISO zertifiziert und c) durch Softwarepatente belastet sind), tut das bitte.

FYI Evince for Windows coming ... http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339172 The underlying work has been done and the developer has it compiled. Packaging and distributing it in a way that suits end users is another matter but I figured it was something you might want to keep an eye on. Regards Alan Horkan

making pdf native in firefox
by Max Jones 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hello, I wish that Firefox included native support for pdf across all platforms. I am struggling to choose a format for online documentation that works on Linux, Mac, and MSWindows. Firefox works well as a cross-platform framework, but the w3c format solutions (MathML, SVG, ...) are not developed. I currently plan to use ConTeXt -> TeX -> pdf, which gives excellent results in principle but doesn't work within Firefox on some platforms (such as Intel Macs). I do not know why Mozilla leaves pdf up to plugins when plugins are not available for all platforms. I know nothing about developing for Firefox. I'm wondering if some of your people who know about pdf also know about Firefox, and maybe they could do the job for Mozilla. In my view this would be a big boost for both Firefox and pdf. Any hope? Thanks, Max

pdfreaders in spanish
by Javier Merino 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi, until a couple of days ago, the pdfreaders.org website was available in Spanish. However, something has recently changed with the languages (now they appear with their full name instead of the two letter abbreviation) and Spanish has disappeared. Can you restore the translation? Regards, Javi (Vicho)

PDFreaders PR coming soon
by Matthias Kirschner 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi Pino, we have now a PR finalised which will now be translated and sent out around Friday next week. The new pages are currently also translated. I attach the PR for you, so you know what we will say :) On http://pdfreaders.julipan.org/graphics.html (this is the test page, the offical pages will of course be again on pdfreaders.org) are new small file buttons (the last two). Do you see a chance to get those as the offical KDE PDF buttons for konqueror/dolphin etc.?

PDFreaders Status Update (Some help still needed)
by Stian Rødven Eide 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi all, I've just updated http://pdfreaders.julipan.org/ with all the translations we have received, including buttons in French, German and Italian. All the pages that are present have been proofread, except for German. Translation into Spanish have been started by Eulalio, and will hopefully be finished this weekend. The press release has been translated into French, with Italian and Spanish versions under construction (by Guiseppe and Eulalio respectively). A German translation of the PR have not yet been started. Seeing that German is the most critical language and many here are native German speakers, would anyone be able to help out with the page proofreading and PR translation on a very short notice? We will announce the launch of (the new) PDFreaders.org on Monday and would greatly appreciate having the mentioned languages ready by then. all the best, /Stian
