As for XPDF, you really want to obtain the old versions
and integrate the RISC OS patches:

I suspect this has its own native RISC OS frontend, voiding
the need for ChoX11.
Yes, it predates ChoX11 by many years. !PDF is far more than just xpdf
with a RISC OS front-end. !PDF uses the core PDF processing library
provided by xpdf to build a Draw file for the current PDF page, which
it then displays in its own RISC OS GUI.
Yes; I hadn't meant to suggest that; only that I hadn't looked at
the code.
There is also PDFView, which is based on the !PDF work and uses a lot
more of the original xpdf code: It can make use of xpdf's internal PDF
rasterizer to create a fully rendered bitmap rather than a Drawfile,
which is less useful for editing but supports much more advanced PDF
features than the original !PDF Drawfile engine.
I think also PDFView uses a slightly newer xpdf engine, but I don't
know how much difference that makes. But when I looked at !PDFView
recently, I couldn't immediately find the source.
Which do you think is the best bet for updating, or perhaps even
a hybrid of both versions - a PDFView which can output Draw
(assuming it cannot already)?
