[EDIT] deinstallipdf.sh.zip is for 2.7.0 users only

I have tested your ipdf rev 5 for a while, I like the look & feeling, when the page get's converted in a new one.
I found some bugs:
  • I have some problems with some hyperlinks in some pdfs. I can't find any rule, why the don't work. [OT: this reminds of an earlier version of xpdf: same symptom]
  • Zooming doesn't work how it should. If your draw a zooming rectangle, the page gets zoomed with wanted ratio, but the wrong area - always the top of page - is zoomed.
  • pan feature is gone. You can click on pan icon, it get's inverted, but you can't pan with stylus.

De-installation of ipdf
You can use the attached deinstallipdf.sh, if you previously installed ipdf with the above posted ipdf5.sh.
Copy deinstallipdf.sh to any folder you want on USB drive, MMC, or CF , & run it by clicking on it in iLiad's contentlister.

How does deinstallipdf.sh work? It undos the steps which were taken to install ipdf, to sum up: you get factory settings back.
It moves the back-up copy of xpdf - created by ipdf5.sh - to the place of iLiad's pdf viewer.

Content of the de-installation shell script [deinstallipdf.sh]:
Code:
cd /usr/bin
mv xpdf.orig xpdf
[EDIT]: I have written a "step-to-step-guide to do the [SHELL] hack" here in this thread. Again, first to the shell hack, then do the next step [ipdf, x48].
