I didn't see an ebuild for gpdf anywhere so I made one based on the libgal2-cvs thingy at breakmygentoo.net. This checks out the latest gpdf sources from cvs.

Download it HERE.

I made xpdf the only dependency cause I'm not sure what you need. gnome 2.2 obviously. Let me know if you discover any other dependencies.

Also, note that you'll have to modify your /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml to look like this:

I should mention that gpdf is a gnome2 pdf viewer based on xpdf. It's for people like me who are convinced that adobe is in cohorts with microsoft by trying their best to make their linux version of acrobat reader the absolute ugliest pdf viewer on the face of the planet.

gpdf looks really good (edit: screenshots below!). It's so refreshing to see this finally being done. One of the nicest things for me is that the mouse wheel works. I'm so sick of acroread's clumsy interface. Of course gpdf is in early development so things like contents and what have you aren't there and it'll probably crash sometimes (hasn't for me yet

) but damn, I'm happy. Yay gnome.

How could I forget :wink:

Here is one of pdf and another one and I suppose just to be fair I should include one of barfy old acroread.

The screenshots are all about 120kB. I didn't want them to be fuzzy in case someone was interested in the rendering quality (or you could take my word that it looks just as good).
