Serenity Systems International and netlabs.org today released beta 3 of Lucide, a document viewer for eComStation designed as a replacement for Acrobat Reader.

One goal of Lucide is to have a fast document viewer which is well integrated in the eComStation WPS and supports features like drag and drop and printing and which makes as easy as possible to work with PDF and other files on eComStation.

This new release supports printing, among other updates:

Changes since the previous beta release:

- Added basic printing features, you may print documents as image or as postscript on postscript-capable printers.
- Fixed scrolling problem introduced in beta2.
- Drawing fixes and improvements.
- Added 'Go to page' dialog, 'Save As...' menuitem works.
- Djvu plugin improvements, get rid of ddjvuapi.dll.
- Ability to compile plugins with gcc.
- Fixes for font substitution.
- NLS-files updates.

Note: Changed vendor & revision in WarpIN Package. You *have* to undelete the old WarpIN Version first! Release number is 0.9.3.

All registered eComStation customers can download Lucide Beta 3 (as zip or WarpIn file) from the the eComStation Betazone, after login at:
