# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| poppler-compat: poppler-compat (a library for rendering PDF documents) poppler-compat: poppler-compat: Poppler is a library based on the xpdf PDF viewer developed by Derek poppler-compat: Noonburg of Glyph and Cog, LLC. Since xpdf does not provide a shared poppler-compat: library, whenever a flaw was found potentially dozens of applications poppler-compat: incorporating code from xpdf would have to be patched. By providing poppler-compat: a centralized PDF library this duplicated effort will be eliminated. poppler-compat: This package contains the shared libraries of older releases, poppler-compat: to be used on slackware-current for compatibility reasons. poppler-compat: poppler-compat: poppler homepage: http://poppler.freedesktop.org/
