Hi Jain! The first thing to do is build calligra, of course :-). The mentor for this project is not around atm, he's on holiday but should be back shortly. As I answered Diego (who is interested in the same idea), the first thing is to investigate the poppler library. The old 1.6 code used xpdf, but that was never a sustainable solution. -- Boudewijn Rempt | http://www.valdyas.org, http://www.krita.org _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
