ABOUT -----
RNOPDF is a compact PDF viewer having a minimal GUI with easy control options. It can be handy for quick viewing of PDF files if configured as the default PDF viewer on your operating system.
FEATURES --------
- Easy zooming using a mouse - Search text in documents - Supports document bookmarks - Recent file(s) list that also remembers previously viewed pages - Preloads the next page for faster viewing - Can export pages as PNG or JPEG images in various resolutions - Can sharpen exported images - Can export pages as text files - Fullscreen mode option - Rotate options - Keyboard and mouse controllable - Drag & drop loading - ARexx support on Amiga compatible platforms - Hollywood source code included
INSTALLATION ------------
- Copy the whole directory anywhere you want and just launch the program - (AmigaOS4) If the program fails to start, copy .hwp and .ext files to LIBS:Hollywood/
KNOWN ISSUES ------------
- AmigaOS3 versions of RNOPDF may crash with certain PDF files if used under WinUAE 4.2.0 or older, or with other emulators using older WinUAE cores, due to a bug in WinUAE's 68020 emulation. - PDF files that don't have correct media box setting(s) fail to display their background colour correctly. This will be fixed in the next Polybios version
