The release of Xpdf 4.04 has taken place, which includes a program for viewing documents in PDF format (XpdfReader) and a set of utilities for converting PDFs to other formats. On the project's download page, builds for Linux and Windows are available, as well as an archive with source texts. The code is provided under GPLv2 and GPLv3 licenses.
Release 4.04 focuses on bug fixes, but it also offers new features:
- Changes in XpdfReader:
- When a file is closed, the current page number is saved in ~/.xpdf.pages and when the file is reopened, that page will be displayed. This behavior can be disabled using the setting 'savePageNumbers no' in xpdfrc.
- Added the ability to change the order of tabs through drag and drop.
- A document properties dialog with metadata and fonts has been added.
- Support for Qt6 has been added.
- The pdftohtml utility now generates HTML links for URI links to anchors in the text.
- Some new options for CLI utilities and xpdfrc settings.
