Sumatra PDF Updates to 1.3 and with Many changes

I like use Sumatra PDF, because it is a slim, free, open-source PDF reader for Windows. Portable out of the box. and I just notice it has updated to 1.3 on Feb 04, 2011 with many changes,

* improved text selection and copying. We now mimic the way a browser or Adobe Reader works: just select text with mouse and use Ctrl-C to copy it to a clipboard
* Shift+Left Mouse now scrolls the document, Ctrl+Left mouse still creates a rectangular selection (for copying images)
* ‘c’ shortcut toggles continuous mode
* ‘+’ / ‘*’ on the numeric keyboard now do zoom and rotation
* added toolbar icons for Fit Page and Fit Width and updated the look of toolbar icons
* add support for back/forward mouse buttons for back/forward navigation
* 1.2 introduces a new full screen mode and made it the default full screen mode. Old mode was still available but not easily discoverable. We’ve added View/Presentation menu item for new full screen mode and View/Fullscreen menu item for the old full screen mode, to make it more discoverable
* new, improved installer
* improved zoom performance (zooming to 6400% no longer crashes)
* text find uses less memory
* further printing improvements
* translation updates
* updated to latest mupdf for misc bugfixes and improvements
* use libjpeg-turbo library instead of libjpeg, for faster decoding of some PDFs
* updated openjpeg library to version 1.4 and freetype to version 2.4.4
* fixed 2 integer overflows reported by Stefan Cornelius from Secunia Research

Google Chrome Can Open PDF Attachments with built-in PDF Reader Now

On June 17, 2010,

Chromium’s blog announced that the latest Google Chrome dev build for Windows and Mac includes a plug-in for viewing PDF files. The plug-in can be enabled by going to chrome://plugins/ and clicking on “Enable” for the “Chrome PDF Viewer” plug-in.

and On February 17, 2011, Google OS said,

If you use Google Chrome and you haven’t disabled the built-in PDF plugin, you can now open PDF attachments from Gmail using your browser’s viewer. Just click “View” next to the attachment and you’ll notice that the PDF file opens faster and it looks much better.

The Chrome PDF plug-in is faster than the Google Docs previewer, its rendering accuracy is better, and you don’t have to change settings anywhere for this to take effect. Just use Gmail in Google Chrome and the ‘view’ link will automatically open your file in the Chrome PDF viewer.
The change is also nice because Chrome’s PDF plug-in actually lets you print, unlike the previewer which can only manage recursion printing (it generates a PDF of your PDF).
