news about a new PDF viever in MorphOS2.x ?
I'd like it A LOT !!! :)

May be, it is stupid question, but... How to install it?

> How to install it?

Click the first link in posting #7 to download the most recent version from the repository. Extract the archive to where you like.

For usage:
Open from within OWB the file /web/viewer.html and then select your own local PDF file from there (yes, the 'select file' button actually works with the most recent version as opposed to the release version from one month ago that is also in the current online demo).

Thank you,

> 'select file' button actually works

Yes, the button works. Unfortunately, the script renders pages very slow. Also, it can not open most of my pdf files.

> the script renders pages very slow.

Of course it's slower than a natively compiled application like Apdf, after all it's a script executed by an interpreter (at least as long as we've no JavaScript JIT on MorphOS).

> it can not open most of my pdf files.

Actually, it can open all of my PDF files, but most of them are not displayed flawlessly yet ;-)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Happy man :) Usually I see *nothing*. Well, let wait for new versions...

> Usually I see *nothing*.

After it finishes loading a new PDF (watch the CPU load) step one page forward, also after display size change. Does that change anything for you? For example jacadcaps' dual boot guide is rendered rather nicely here (it has some very small glitches though).

I tried this way without success. But now i can't chack anything 'coz i have no access to my Pegasos. I'll try it at sunday.

It seems MorphOS 3.0 will have it:

"New pdf viewer too, the layout looks a lot better than the current one. If based on a recent version of Poppler as the source, it should incorporate changes form xpdf 3.02 (ie support for pdf v1.6 and 1.7) too!"
