The best PDF viewer on Classics is IMHO, EasyGS from AmigaKit (It is freeware).
It requires you to have GhostScript for Classics.


EasyGS can be downloaded from http://shop.amigakit.com/easygs/EasyGS.lha
GhostScript 8.70 can be downloaded from http://www.whoosh777.com/

It is less resource hungry than Apdf and does its job pretty decently on an Amiga with no RTG.

BTW, Installing GhostScript is a pain in the butt due to the not so clear website page layout of whoosh. But once done, it does it job pretty well. At least I had no crashes :)

If there is a demand for it, I will release a new version of EasyGS package with a few new features that have been added in the last year.

I just haven't yet go around to testing it due to work on other projects.


Please do it!
And thank you for making this program available for everyone. :)
