thanks, multivalent looked inspiring. Sadly export CLASSPATH=~/download java tool.pdf.Info -font sample.pdf produced 'tool/pdf.Info' not found. But my konqueror browser saw the classes in the JAR file fine. Does this thing work at all? The browser works and SHOWS PDF files as a new, for me, viewer! And it worked fine, as a rather awkward, net browser. Well, it's a bit OT but we all want good pdf tools, don't we?
