Hi Riccardo, Thanks for looking into this thoroughly - I am trying to grasp the picture. Questions in-line below.

Is this software bad in its design? I tried to compile PoppletKit for Vindaloo, and it gives me this error even though I already installed libpoppler-dev and libpopplerkit0: Making all for subproject bindings... make[3]: *** No rule to make target 'obj/bindings.obj/poppler.c.o', needed by 'obj/subproject.o'. Stop. /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/Instance/subproject.make:45: recipe for target 'internal-subproject-all_' failed make[2]: *** [internal-subproject-all_] Error 2 /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/Master/rules.make:311: recipe for target 'bindings.all.subproject.variables' failed make[1]: *** [bindings.all.subproject.variables] Error 2 /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/Master/rules.make:311: recipe for target 'PopplerKit.all.framework.variables' failed make: *** [PopplerKit.all.framework.variables] Error 2 Riccardo Mottola wrote: > I think that for "continuous scrolling" you intend to see at the same > time one page and the next page?

Is it useful for me to try GSPdf and edit it to add continuous scrolling there? What is a good starting point for getting continuous scrolling somehow eventually?
