Wow. I am so glad that my firefox is able to show the Tamil text in graphic detail both on the archive interface as well as quote it correctly in this mail as well. I am really glad. I installed the latha.ttf and configured firefox for it. I hope you guys have all done it. But the kudos should go to Google's efforts in localization and several other efforts in this direction. As to answering Kenneth's question I think he is right but the difference is rather unimportant since many LUGGers do not live in Chennai I think. This in my opinion proves two things: a) ILUGC is superior to all other LUGS in India ;) b) The traditional Tamil respect for talent and outsiders This is why we have Rajnikant and MGR making it big in Tamil Nadu. We have close to zero xenophobia here. We are even better than Americans in this regard as US has got very protectionist due to the recent recession. Vazha vaikum Tamizhagame vazhga! By the way I did not grow up in Tamil Nadu though I am 100% Tamil. -Girish -- Gayatri Hitech web: http://gayatri-hitech.com SpamCheetah Spam filter: http://spam-cheetah.com ___ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with unsubscribe password address in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] Great tip to create syntax highlighted color PDF from C files
Guys, This is simply amazing. Try it and then see! ;) Fire up vim and open a C file. $ vim foo.c :hardcopy %.ps $ps2pdf14 foo.c.ps $ xpdf foo.c.pdf What do you see? In case you don't have syntax highlighting enabled by default, you can :sy on before the :hardcopy step.

I _have_ done PDF markup in two ways: 1. Write text on top of the PDF file. One can do this with flpsed which is short for fltk PostScript Editor. 2. Fill up PDF forms by extracting the FDF data. One can do this with pdftk. In most of these s/w, PDF needs to be converted as PS/ background images and then edited. E.g GIMP brings them in as images. This is a big issue when we have multi-page documents. If these were annotation elements, then we can turn their visibility on and off, skip from one to another while reviewing feedback given as annotations etc. Filling up forms can be met by ftpsed or pdftk etc. as we do not need extensive annotation capability. Comments and notes are the one used most in reviewing. Arrows, box markers, highlights and link embedding are use less but are important nevertheless. As far as I've read, Okular does not have these features. It, however, has the capability to read/render different formats. This makes it an interesting platform for review/ annotation across multiple formats. I did not know of Xournal and it does seem to explicitly support PDF annotations. Need to check that out. I had not dwelled much on PDFEdit earlier as it was described as a library. Seeing it now, I see a GUI thingy. Need to explore this too. Given all this, I still think it is a worthwhile project for some one to take up on Okular.
