xpdf 3.01 (2005) no longer works properly, or segfaults,
on many pdfs (pdf 1.6, increasingly common)
I don't know why pulp uses such an old version. 3.02 is
2007 and supports pdf 1.6 and 1.7
Download 3.03 (Aug 2011) from
ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdfbin- ... .03.tar.gz
17MB download at 26K/sec contains binaries (static for
motif and freetype) for bin64 and bin32. xpdf is now 9MB
Contains also pdfimages, etc. and doc files.
pulp has all the dependencies, and it worked on a pdf that
3.01 scrambled.
First I tried Google Docs pdf reader, which worked as badly
as 3.01.
epdfview binary that I found online requires gtk+ 2.6 and
we have 2.0
