Mupdf new pdf viewer
Mupdf new pdf viewer
Hey - for those who are interested there is finally a linux binary of mupdf.
http://ccxvii.net/mupdf/download/
Still only a windows firefox plugin.
No gui by the looks of it, nor find/select features.
Apparently the binary is that big because it includes Chinese, Japanese and Korean fonts, and it is only 1MB with only roman fonts. I wouldn't have thought it should need any fonts...
How fast is it? I suspect it is a lot faster than epdf, but I'm running Puppy in colinux with Slirp at the moment, so I can't really tell.

Interesting.
Well mupdf rendered with all the wrong colours here..odd.
But pdfdraw which converts to pmn works perfectly.
Both are very fast which is the mupdf trademark and yes large binaries with all those fonts. But good that there now is a linux port.
I recently looked up summatrapdf again and it seems to have improved with menu support, links etc....also fast and runs well in wine. Only quirk is no printing..odd again.

I don't know about wrong colours but the text is near illegible on the pdfs I tried and there appears to be no option to display a page fully or scroll.mikeb wrote:Interesting.

Fast indeed. Displayed pages instantly whereas I could go and brew a tea between pages with epdfview on some pdfs. However, being illegible makes mupdf useless no matter what speed.very fast which is the mupdf trademark
Wow, it is fast. Seems to segfault on (some?) multi-page pdfs though...

Here try this version, I compiled it on 4.22 and added a keyboard guide to that can you find in /root/MuPDF-keys.rtf
plus I added a right click option in rox, so just right click on any pdf and select mupdf and it will open, actually its a lot smaller compiled and stripped, 883kb pet with all the applications but all the applications aren't needed to view pdf's,
MuPdf is the main bin
pdfdraw:
Renderer tool to convert a PDF file to PNM image files.
pdfclean:
Tool that rewrites PDF files. Can be used to decrypt, encrypt and decompress PDF files.
pdfshow,
Debugging tools to show internal objects, extract fonts and images, and display information about resources in a PDF file.

ps added a small version with just the bin file and all keys still work So really thats all you need to view pdf files and zoom +/- what a excellent application

very nice, tested with some manuals, they all showed up correct.
as i normally don't print (but sometimes need to read pdf), this is the ideal app for a stripped down version without much dependencies.

It would make a excellent default reader also, If someone made a gui for it, but the main issue would be that the keystrokes would have to be emulated, I tried to navigate from command line and that doesn't work, so the gui would have to do the keyboard emulation, thats a bit out of my very tiny coding expertise,lolaragon wrote:very nice, tested with some manuals, they all showed up correct.

Working ...
navigation is easy once familiar.
I discovered the color rendering is incorrect when X is at x16 colors but ok at x24...2 different machines same result.
terminal output....

That should be easy - try xse http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 437#217437so the gui would have to do the keyboard emulation, thats a bit out of my very tiny coding expertise,lol
That's quite a reasonable size nowps added a small version
