DR800 TechPDF: Yet another PDF reader (technology preview)

[GregorRichards]

Just released alpha 7. Just some fairly minor speed improvements ... not sufficient to catch up with the builtin one

I forgot to mention, alpha 7 also no longer creates the TechPDF directory. It uses, in this priority order:

• Books/TechPDF
• TechPDF
• Books

It never creates a directory, it's up to the user to use further organization if they'd like.

Very good and fitting definition for APPLE's policy, congratulations :-)

Hi GregorRichards, where is the poppler lib for this processor?

[GregorRichards]

I just used the one straight out of the SDK. I didn't compile my own. I should, and will probably get around to it, but my life is busy with other stuff right now :P

Iñigo also has one in his 'core runtime libs'.
