News from the PDF import
Thorsten Behrens

As announced some time ago, we're busy implementing a PDF import extension for OOo. Building upon a prototype from Philipp Lohmann (of Aqua port fame), and experimenting with agile development methodologies, we're quickly progressing towards a demoable preview. Work happens in CWS picom (one can probably glean from the commit comments what we're current hacking at).

Besides missing bits and pieces here and there (that we strive to iron out before), we need clearance for running a (GPLed) xpdf binary out-of-process, and will then provide the interested public with regular testing binaries.

Xpdf, not poppler? http://poppler.freedesktop.org/

Sure - if you look closely, poppler is based on xpdf 3.0 (we plan to use 3.02). In fact, the extension, FWICT, will be quite comparable to poppler, i.e. a wrapper around xpdf. Though not using cairo etc., but OOo as the rendering substrate, if you will.
