Hi,
I like all those new features which were added to PDFDebugger lately, as far as
I've already found them ;-)
I'm thinking about removing PDFReader as PDFDebugger is now able to render
single pages as well and it is doing it even better.

I've seen this coming... but although I had a part in including reader features in PDFDebugger, I
think that PDFDebugger is for the professional "PDF detective", while PDFReader is to
"just view" a PDF file. I.e. a newbie, when starting PDFDebugger, would be confused.
PDFReader does have some small features not in PDFDebugger, like PageUp / PageDown (also
implemented by my student).
I don't think that there are many newbies using PDFReader, most seasoned users
don't seem to know that it exists. Based on the mailing list, it seems that
PDFToImage is the far more popular choice.
That has the disadvange that it leaves image files in the directory.
Even I use PDFReader to view the rendering of PDF files.
Here's an idea: if we switch PDFDebugger to using "View Pages" by default, it will no longer be
confusing for casual users. I've found myself using this mode most of the time anyway. We can add page
up/down too, of course - preferably using the actual "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys
rather than the bizarre choice of the +/- keys which are currently used in PDFReader.
Yes that would be a good idea. But don't ask student to do it, there's
still a lot of regular features to implement, and don't delete PDFReader
before that is done.
