PdfArticle is a pdf viewer for mathematical articles (GNU/GPL v3). Its goal is to present for eah page the images of its references, such as bibliographies, theorems and equations.

PdfArticle  is a Qt4 application, depends on Poppler-Qt to render PDF,  so it is cross platform application, but the author said

For now it is only available for Linux, due to the dependance of Poppler. A compile version for Windows and/or Mac would be greatly welcome, and also debian and redhat packages :)

With the help of the last version MinGW cross compiling environment, I successfully compiled a Windows x86(32-bit) version. and have tested on Windows 64-bit, and please download here.

P.S. If you want to download Linux version package (Debian/Ubuntu,Redhat,Mandriva) or source code, please visit here.

Yesterday, I got a comment on Jbig2

Hi Steven,
thanks for the port to windows. It works very good, produces small pdf-file sizes. Only one strange thing happens. The generate pdf files have a huge page-size. For example if I process A4-size pages (29.7×20.9cm) @400dpi tiff or png the pdf file size is 164.9×116.6 cm.
Is it possible to fix this by the python pdf.py or is jbig2.exe responible for this?
Thanks
Armin

after check the last version pdf.py, I notice it uses a default DPI(600). Images has different DPI, so if you want to use pdf.py, you need always modify it, it is not a good solution.

Then I check the source code of jbig, and found in jbig2_page_info structure ,

struct jbig2_page_info {
  u32 width;
  u32 height;
  u32 xres;
  u32 yres;
...

we can get xres and yres, so we can directly use xres and yres to generated proper page size.

and here is the patch file

btw, you can also download the last version jbig2 from here.

P.S.

Armin became the first user, and here is his response,

Hi Steven,
thank you very much for your quick response, and the new pdf.py
which works perfect. (I checked it with my 400dpi page scans.
the pdf page size is now of the same size as the scans)

Thank you so much,
Greetings from rainy Germany :-)

Sumatra PDF 1.5 released on Apr 23, 2011, and includes more important features,

• add support for viewing XPS documents
• add support for viewing CBZ and CBR comic books
• add File/Save Shortcut menu item to create shortcuts to a specific place in a document
• add context menu for copying text, link addresses and comments. In browser plugin it also adds saving and printing commands
• add folder browsing (Ctrl+Shift+Right opens next PDF document in the current folder, Ctrl+Shift+Left opens previous document)

btw,
Last week, I noticed MuPDF trunk adds XPS support, but still has some bugs in windows registers.
