Episode 59 - Using PDF files on the Amiga

This week on 10MARC I am covering several clever ways to open up PDF files on your Amiga. Be aware that in order to really do this you will need an AGA Amiga or Vampirized A500/600, or a Big Box Amiga with an RTG card. There just is not a really good ECS PDF reader... Program information: Download Ghostscript here: www.whoosh777.com Download EasyGS from Amigakit: https://amigakit.amiga.store/easygs/easygs.lha Get GSGui .38 right here... http://aminet.net/package/text/dtp/GSGui_68k Download RNOPDF for your RTG System: http://jpv.wmhost.com/jpv_software/RNOPDF/ Want to try APDF for your ECS machine? Don't say I did not warn you... http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/Apdf_common and don't forget that there are three files you need to download to use APDF.
