Apropos of pdf, I just viewed a pdf file sent me (scanned image wrapped with pdf tags) that displayed properly with xpdf 3.0, but pdftopbm told me it was a pdf 1.4 format and it could only handle pdf 1.3 but it converted anyway, to something extremely low resolution and poor quality.

So the CLI parts of the latest xpdf are not updated. xpdf (like the gs I compiled with BL2) will not work with BL3 X libraries.

gs from SW4.0 and 7.1 and 8.1 does not handle pdf 1.5 either.

For serious work I will continue to use BL2, or replace the X libraries with later ones (and anything else dependent on them).

It would still be nice to print formatted text without gs in BL3.
