				 GPdf
				 ====

This is GPdf, a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files for
GNOME. GPdf is based on the Xpdf program and uses additional GNOME
libraries for better desktop integration.

GPdf includes the gpdf application, a Bonobo control for PDF display
which can be embedded in Nautilus, and a Nautilus property page for
PDF files.

Requirements
------------

A GNOME 2.2 (or higher) environment. Later versions are required of
these libraries:

 * gtk+ 2.3.0

 * libbonobo 2.2.1

 * libgnomecanvas 2.3.6 (compiling with older versions is possible,
   clipping was improved in 2.3.6)

 * libgnomeprint 2.3.1 and later (compiling with older versions is
   possible, Type 1 font embedding needs changes introduced in this
   version)

You can get these packages from your favourite GNOME FTP mirror or at
http://ftp.gnome.org/GNOME/sources or from other sources where GNOME
packages are distributed.


Installation
------------

See the file 'INSTALL'

Known Limitations
-----------------

Fonts.

GPdf's handling of embedded fonts is almost non-existant. GPdf can use
embedded PostScript Type 1 and Truetype fonts with libgnomeprint 2.3.1
or higher. CID fonts and Type 3 fonts are not supported. Fonts from
fontconfig are substituted for those. As a result, the font spacing
doesn't look optimal. Embedded fonts without a Unicode mapping may be
displayed unreadable.
