Hi,
for your information, the "Functional Fragments Library" has become a
SourceForge project. I checked in the sources a few moments ago. They
should become available for public browsing within the next hours or so.
Short name is "funlib". License is GPL.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/funlib/
What's more, it no longer "just" provides JPEG decompression as its main
feature, but it now also allows processing of PDF files. There's already
a simple example that can decompress and decrypt an entire file. Some of
the code is still very experimental. I am working on it.
There will be more examples, but for that I need to structure the code
somewhat more. I will probably start with things like:
* extraction of individual pages, or ranges.
* set file info and/or viewer prefs
* n-up transformations
* extraction of text
Note that there are hardly any free libaries around that allow you to do
these things, so this is fairly unique. Most other stuff only generates PDF.
Also note that the current set only contains Clean 1.3 code. I will port
the code to 2.1, but it is possible that 1.3 remains leading for a while.
And finally, I will spent some time on documentation and setting up some
web pages. This however is currenlty low prority for me.
regards,
Marco
