[EDIT]: I posted a 0.2 version of ipdf4 & ipdf5 later in this thread
step-to-step guide for installing ipdf rev5
All mobilereaders who want to test scotty's ipdf rev 5 can dowload the attached zip-file.
All files are included to install & deinstall ipdf rev5. You can use it with firmware 2.7.0 & 2.7.1.
What do I need?
# iRex's .sh ids download [firmware 2.7.1]
# or [SHELL] hack installed [firmware 2.7.0]
What do I have to do?- Download pdfviewers.zip
- Connect iLiad with USB cable
- Extract content of pdfviewers.zip to newspapers folder of iLiad's USB drive.
- Disconnet iLiad USB cable ["Connected to PC..." logo is gone] You can use the iLiad again
- Press iLiad's "news" button
- Click on directory "pdfviewers"
- Click on the wanted sh file
# 271installipdf5.sh for installing ipdf rev5 on 2.7.1
# 270installipdf5.sh for installing ipdf rev5 on 2.7.0
- Green Lamp blinks. It only takes few seconds. Blinking stops. Screen get's refreshed. This it was. [no reboot needed]
- You can test a user-modded pdf-viewer
Ok, I want iRex's pdf-viewer back now. How?
Steps as above.
But this time you click on
- 271deinstallipdf5.sh for deinstalling ipdf rev5 on 2.7.1
- 270deinstallipdf5.sh for deinstalling ipdf rev5 on 2.7.0
Why differ the sh files for 2.7.0 & 2.71?
Because pdf viewer changed it's name, so some lines in er_registry.txt differ.
This entry
Code:
[XPDF]
category=viewer
arguments=<FILENAME>
exec=/usr/bin/xpdf
xResourceName=win
channel=2
extensions=pdf;PDF;
only exists in 2.7.0 version.
Hey, you asked! Right?
known bugs of rev5
Quote:
# 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.

Happy pdf viewing to all.
