    LZW decompression in Panda

      Several people have tried to convince me that decompression of LZW compressed information is not covered by the various Unisys patents on the LZW compression algorithm. This decompression would be useful for the reading in of existing PDF documents, as well as the inclusion of GIF images within a PDF document.

      Having now done some research on the topic, it would appear that this is incorrect. An example is xpdf which is forced to convert the LZW compressed streams into something else before they can be used. My reading of the LZW license is also that this is the case.

      Therefore, Panda will ont be supporting the inclusion of GIF images, or the the modification of PDF documents containing LZW compressed streams in the forseeable future. When the modification of such documents is supported, it will be implemented in a similar manner to that used in xpdf.

    CLUG Talk

      I gave a talk at the Canberra Linux User's Group (CLUG) meeting tonight. I have made the slides used for the talk available here. I have also editted the slides to include some idea of the commentary that I gave with the slides.

      The slides cover topics such as what is Panda, what is PDF, directions for Panda development, and some simple sample code.

      For reference, the original slides, as shown on the screen are also online...

    AOSS Talk

      I also gave a talk at the Australian Open Source Symposium in Adelaid today. The talk is very similar to that I gave a few days ago at CLUG (see below). However, some slides have been updated... I have made the slides used for the talk available here. I have also editted the slides to include some idea of the commentary that I gave with the slides like I did for the CLUG talk below.

      The slides cover topics such as what is Panda, what is PDF, directions for Panda development, differnces in quality of PDF viewers and some simple sample code.

      For reference, the original slides, as shown on the screen are also online...
