I'm reluctant to go down this route. Things that xpdf depends may or many not be updated, then I'll have to keep an eye out for the latest xpdf code and download and update this manually, as well as any dependencies which may fall out of the tree. This will create a maintenance liability for me. I'd like to continue using xpdf, but unless a maintainer shows up it'll have to bite the dust. :-( Anyhow, another alternative may be mupdf - it opens files when called from another application (e.g. a browser) but unlike xpdf I have not found a way of saving a file once opened without having to redownload it with the browser. -- Regards, Mick
