I want to announce a PDF Framework capable to parse PDF files and contruct
a fine grained object model of text (also unicode), images, lineArt, fonts,
colors and other features of each element contained in a PDF document.
The framework works for some smalltalk platforms today [*] and can be
ported on request (near two man-month) to any existing Smalltalk platform.
Each document page can be parsed to extract objects (information is
decrypted and decompressed on demand) and queried for the objects at
specified point or area.
Rendering of pages at fast speed can be realized using an already
implemented, interface to Foxit DLL; to make applications render high
quality PDF contents at maximum speed.
The framework was started many years ago (I have announced partial
releases in lists in the past) and now is been used in products of
diferent contexts for managing documents and massive processing of
information in PDF format (bank and travel agencies).
Please contact me for more technical details, license terms and price
list.

[*] Currently the framework can run on Visual Smalltalk, Dolphin Next
Generation (DNG). Also partial implementation (object and text extraction)
is running on Dolphin Smalltalk and Visual Works platforms.
