Can you publsih then idjvu sources? While you are tweaking new pdf, we will be happy to user old djvu, but with zoom and without black band in the right.

My plans for this weekend are to refactor ipdf into a pluggable viewer framework.

My plan is to release 3 viewers with the new ipdf.

1. wrapper for Poppler e.g PDF support
2. wrapper for DJVULibre e.g. DJVU support
3. wrapper for my RTF parser e.g. Baen RTF ebook support (and yes, I'll still be doing the read direct from ZIP trick.)

The ipdf will use direct to screen memory page transfers with an X window popup place holder for it (so X doesn't get confused.) It will have a full 8 bit path for crisp text.

Support for improved decoding time and error dispersion of images will be in the next release of the Poppler wrapper (sorry, only so many hours this weekend.)
