It provides a SOM based plugin architecture which allows 3rd party programmers to easily add more plugins. :: Plugins :: Supported file type Supported features -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDF scaling, rotation, navigation, text selection, searching, asynchronous rendering, form fill-in, PostScript printing DJVU Scaling, PostScript printing GBM document info, loading all formats supported by GBM*, save loaded bitmap if it has only one page, multipage bitmap viewing, load bitmap page on demand, scaling and rotation, file thumbnail creation, high quality scaling algorithm for improved appearance, configurable background rendering for fast page switching and continuous scrolling JPG Scaling, JPG is supported by GBM so this isn't part of the default install -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *OS/2 / Windows Bitmap, CompuServe Graphics Interchange, ZSoft PC Paintbrush Image, Microsoft/Aldus Tagged Image, Truevision Targa/Vista, Amiga IFF/ILBM Interleaved Bitmap, YUV12C M-Motion Frame Buffer, Portable Bit-map, Portable Greyscale-map, Portable Pixel-map, Portable Anymap, Portable Network Graphics, IBM KIPS, IBM Image Access eXecutive, X Windows Bitmap, X Windows PixMap, Archimedes Sprite from RiscOS, IBM Printer Page Segment, GEM Raster, Portrait, JPEG Interchange, JPEG2000 Graphics, JBIG Joint Bi-level Image experts Group, Camera RAW Image -------------------------------------------------------------------------- :: Comparison to qPDFView :: Both Lucide and qPDFView utilize the poppler library for rendering PDFs. Internal differences between the two program result in some rendering more quickly in one program vs the other. Overall, we feel that Lucide has a more OS/2-like - or native - feel to its interface, and is better suited to the operating system. Lucide also supports native OS2 printers while qPDFView requires CUPS The choice is left entirely to the user as to which is better suited to his needs. :: Requirements :: To install all prerequisites in one go from Arca Noae Package Manager, simply copy and paste the following string into the Quick install dialog: libc libcx libgcc1 libgcc-fwd libstdc++6 libsupc++6 poppler poppler-data libjpeg djvulibre uclip GBMDLL If you prefer the yum command line, please type yum install libc libcx libgcc1 libgcc-fwd libstdc++6 libsupc++6 poppler poppler-data libjpeg djvulibre uclip GBMDLL and press <Enter>. Specifically, Lucide requires the following: - libc 0.6.6: - http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/libc-0_6_6-38_oc00.zip (zip format) or ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0_6_6-csd6.wpi (WarpIn format) or "yum install libc" (from the netlabs-rel repository) - libcx 0.6.3 - http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/libcx-0_6_4-1_oc00.zip (zip format) or "yum install libcx" (from the netlabs-rel repository) - gcc492.dll: - ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc4core-1_3_1.wpi (WarpIn format) or "yum install libgcc1 libgcc-fwd" (from the netlabs-rel repository) For rendering PDFs, Lucide's plugin requires the following: - poppler 0.59.0: - "yum install poppler" (from the netlabs-rel repository) For rendering DjVu files, Lucide's plugin requires the following: - djvulibre 3.5.27: - "yum install djvulibre" (from the netlabs-rel repository) For rendering multiple bitmap format files (GBM), Lucide's plugin requires the following: - GBMDLL 1.76: - "yum install GBMDLL" (from the netlabs-rel repository) - Installed by default on ArcaOS 5.0.3 and higher For rendering JPEGs, Lucide's plugin requires the following: - libjpeg 8d: - "yum install libjpeg" (from the netlabs-rel repository) - Only needed if you install the JPG plugin GBM provides JPG support - You should not install JPG and GBM at the same time. (GBM is recommended) Optional: to place unicode text to the clipboard in OpenOffice.org-compatible format you need to install UClip package (enhanced OS/2 clipboard support, installed by default in eComStation 2.0 RC1 and up, as well as ArcaOS Blue Lion): - http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=UClip or "yum install uclip" (from the netlabs-rel repository) Optional: to have Japanese fonts working you need the poppler-data package. - "yum install poppler-data" (from the netlabs-rel repository) Note: If you install Lucide during the ArcaOS install all these packages are installed. PostScript printing requires PostScript-capable printer (pscript.drv or psprint.drv).
