This will give you the current CVS snapshot so you have the most current
version. The downside is that you will have to do that again once you
want to update again. With the CVS you just need:

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/pdfedit login
[empty passwd]
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/pdfedit co -P 
pdfedit

if you want to update to the latest sources (after we make any changes
then just)
cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/pdfedit login
cvs update -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/pdfedit 
in the source tree.

Yes, sounds good.

Are you sure? It shouldn't be same because we are encoding strings in a
different way. How did you compare those documents?

Could you send me the "fixed" document (by the private email)?
