There's always Acrobat Reader for viewing .pdf files, but I just tried
looking at xpdf from ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-2.02pl1.tar.gz. As
far as it goes, it installs in Cygwin very nicely but at the end of the
configure stage it says
configure: WARNING: Couldn't find X / Motif
you will be able to compile
pdftops, pdftotext, pdfinfo, pdffonts, and pdfimages
but not xpdf
and indeed at the end of make install there they all are, but not xpdf. Has
anybody succeeded in a successful install and is it easy to explain how?
Thank you.
