Actually, caritas was all ready for it (he even released 0.8 by implementing some of the ideas we discussed) but I got caught up with a lot of work in real life and couldn't make progress on anything (as you might have noticed by my absence on the forum).
I'm thinking of restarting work on PDFRead, but don't know when it'll be done [no commitments considering my tardy track record]. I plan to do it as a single C++ executable and have got the necessary libraries to cross-compile for Windows (developing on Linux) -- the algorithm has still to be ported.
Either way, there have been lots of good improvements on the PDF front lately -- soPDF, PaperCrop, pi and PDFRead are now available and are good in certain aspects. We should also give thanks to alex_d (for PDFRasterFarian) and cacapee (for pdflrf) as they have served as inspiration for these tools, although they are are no longer legally available.
