[Ql-Users] Ghostscript

2014-05-20 Thread Dilwyn Jones
I have received a query from a user in Italy concerning viewing PDF files on QL 
systems.

AFAIK, Jonathan Hudson’s Ghostscript port is probably the only utility able to 
do this, and probably only older PDF files.

Anyone with experience of this so I can give some form of answer to help him?

Unlikely to ever happen at any form of decent speed, even on StrongARM
we had to have a highly optimised special fixed point version of PDF
library poppler to get anywhere near sane speed. Modern PDFs are all
heavy floating point users.
