Better PDF viewer for classic amiga's. Possible?
« on: April 06, 2011, 06:54:46 AM »
Are there any fundamental reasons a more modern / compatible PDF viewer than Apdf (or an update of such) could not be made?

Basically, I am wondering if it'd be worth trying to pursue some sort of bounty for this, if programming talent could be unearthed, but I don't want to waste time dreaming, if there's some inherent reason it wouldn't be possible at all.

I had tried setting up ghostscript but I think I jacked it up, as it crashes without mercy. I'll give it a shot.

How compatible does it get?

yeah, I think I'll have to print this out and go over it step by step :)

That might be for tomorrow though

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.


There's demand from me at least :)
