	PDFView 2.0:
			OpenStep port.

	PDFView 1.71:
		-	Added french localization. Thanks to Hugues RICHARD.

	PDFView 1.7:
		-	PDFView supports embeded TrueType and CFF (new in PDF 1.2) fonts.
			Thanks to OneVision GmbH.
		-	Various PDF 1.2 features are now supported: Separation colorspaces,
			Overprinting, Patterns, Transfer functions... However level 1
			compatibility suffered - if you are interested contact me and support
			me in testing.
			Encrypted PDFs are now supported. Credits to Geoffrey Keating.
		-	PDFView includes an Interface to the CMYKAdjust feature of the
			WindowServer.

	PDFView 1.61:
		-	First steps towards PDF 1.2. Mainly FlateDecoding. Thanks to
			Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler for their wonderful zlib.

	PDFView 1.6:
		-	The current zoom factor is now displayed and can be set.
		-	Page increment and decrement buttons have been added to
			the page number text field.
			The important feature called history has been implemented.
		-	PDFView supports four mouse functions:
				Normal hypertext mode.
				Zoom cursor.
				Text cursor.
				Create note.
		-	Notes can be modified added and deleted.
		-	Thumbnails can be created and deleted.
		-	Pages can be cropped and rotated.
		-	The page mode and base URL of the document may be set.
			Any changes may be saved. Important hint: <Save> always appends
			an update section to the document, which is good for small changes
			to large documents. Whereas <Save As> copies only needed data to
			the new document, which may even decrease file size.

	PDFView 1.42:
		-	Thumbnails show the visible rectangle and work as ineractive map for
			the page.

	PDFView 1.4:
		-	Added service: PDFView/Perform PDF Action.
			The send type is NXAsciiPboardType which should contain a valid PDF action
			as defined in PDF-1.1.
			Example 1:	[1 /XYZ 0 0 .5]
							will jump to the second page in the current document and set
							the zoom to .5.
			Example 2:	<</Type /Action /S /GoToR /F (myPDFfile) /D [0 /XYZ 0 0 1]>>
							will open the document called myPDFfile at page one zoom 1.
							This allows other applications to refer to specific locations
							in a PDF document.
		-	Added filter service: PDFToRTF.
			This offers the 'Save text as RTF' function as a filter. Thus PDFView works
			with Librarian. Hint: Use build index in Librarian to speed up search.
		-	Movie links are now handled in a primitive way.

	PDFView 1.31:
		-	Text annotations are now resizeable.
		-	You can now search for Text annotations.
		-	Document info has been added.
		-	The entire text of a document can be saved as RTF.
		-	The functions 'search text', 'search annots', 'list all fonts'
			and 'save entire text as RTF' can be aborted by <Command-Period>.

	PDFView 1.3:
		-	PDFView is now able to find, select and copy text.
		-	You can now choose the zoom modifier key: Alternate or Control.

	PDFView 1.21:
		-	Fixed a bug in the fit to papersize option (Printing).
		-	Font substitution now uses absolute values of given italic angles,
			because the sign of the italic angle in a fontdescriptor is not reliable.
		-	Fixed problems with NextStep 4.0.
		-	My private email address changed.

	PDFView 1.2:

	New features are:
		-	The page mode entry is evaluated and used, thus either bookmarks
			or thumbs are displayed automatically if requested by the file.
			FullScreen page mode however is currently not supported.
		-	The open action entry is evaluated and used, thus documents
			may appear at page, zoom and location as requested by the open action.
		-	Hyper links to other files are now handled, i hope properly.
		-	The function 'Save page as EPS' has been added.
		-	The 'fit...' magnifications and scrolling behavior have been improved,
			thus more documents draw directly to the screen even when caching is enabled.
		-	A document frame is now memoried.
		-	Again the performance of substitute fonts has been slightly improved.
		-	URL (http links) are recognized and passed to a service. The service is
			configurable in the preferences.
	The print setup code has been completely rewriten. Would anyone like to
	support me in testing Level1 compatibility?
	
	Some notes to claims William Shipley made for his OmniPDF and the other viewers:
		-	It is not true that Objective-C is a guarantee for faster interpretation.
			To prove this try the last page of focus.pdf from the Acrobat CD for example.
		-	It is true that PDFView is slower when it has to do font substitution.
			Sophisticated font substitution has a price, on the Mac even a special
			waitcursor appears when the ATM computes substitute fonts.
		-	PDFView does no longer use foreign code.
		-	I wonder in which sense OmniPDF outputs print jobs that obey the DSC
			more than any other NextStep application. In particular PDFView is
			able to output print jobs with different paper formats for each page
			or to fit all pages on one common paper format, not so OmniPDF (Version 1.32).
			In addition PDFView produces Level1 compatible PostScript, correct DSC comments
			for binary data and hexadecimal data if your printer communication does not
			allow binary data.
		-	PDFView has an explicit application wide cache size limit. This is important
			for two reasons. First the time to draw a page into a cache at zoom factors
			above 200 percent grows substantially. Second, which also is the reason for
			first, the size of the offscreen buffer - the cache - for a letter page at
			zoom 400 percent reaches nearly 30 MB on a true color system. Magnifications
			may ocur without a users explicit intention due to hyperlinks which may request
			an arbitrary rectangle to be magnified. OmniPDF currently avoids magnifications
			requested by hyperlinks.
		-	Last it is surprising that, though less functionality, OmniPDF is nearly twice
			as large as PDFView 1.1.
		-	PDFView is supported by me. Contact addresses below.
		I have one suggestion to William Shipley:
		Make an open interface for OmniWeb and i will implement it for PDFView.
		Than let users decide which viewer they like to use.

	PDFView 1.1:

	New features are:
		-	The page is now centered in its view and the window
			can be resized freely.
		-	The fit page options are now explicitly 'fit width',
			'fit height' and 'fit'.
		-	The content of a page may be cached up to a user defined
			cache size limit.
		-	Hyper links are handled more seriously. A border
			is drawn if requested and the mouse turns red above
			the link rectangle.
		-	Text annotations are displayed and can be opened,
			closed and moved.
		-	A page overview has been added, where thumbnails are
			displayed if there are any.
		-	The outline tree (tree of book marks) is offered for use.
		-	A bug has been fixed which prevented font substitution to
			work on some printers.
		-	The font substitution now takes more advantage of fontcaching.
			Thus the text display performance schould have improved.

	PDFView 1.0:

	PDFView lets you view and print PDF files.
	
	Besides the basic commands in the display menu
	you can zoom a rectangle by halting the alternate key
	(this uses to be right Alt on PC keyboards) down. And
	you can abort this by pressing the right mouse button.
	
	Further PDFView can follow the hyper links as long as
	they refer to the same document.
	
	This is not much but a lot more than nothing.
	
	Much pleasure
	Guenther
