After the last security updates 8.1.3 and 8.1.4 now the new Adobe Reader 9.1 is available for Linux too. Like ever it isn't the fast PDF viewer for daily usage (like Envince) but it is the best PDF viewer for prepress.Saturday, 21. March 2009, 20:35:03
After using my CMYK Tiff 2 PDF for Gimp in real life by creating the prepress PDF of the german Ubuntu flyer and the chance het it bundled in the Debian package "gimp-plugin-registry" i updated it again and fixed some bugs:Wednesday, 7. January 2009, 18:33:25
Ghostscript offers a powerfull PostScript-to-PDF converter. But it is quite challenging to use its parameters on the command line. Moonshiner is a graphical frontend (GUI) for it that is very simliar to Adobe Distiller. At the moment version 1.0 is in beta state while 1.1 is available at the SVN.Wednesday, 10.

Envince and a lot of other PDF viewers are great for the daily usage. But working with PDF documents for prepress the best at all is always the Adobe PDF Reader. Due some security issues Adobe updated it now to version 8.1.3. Sunday, 26. October 2008, 13:25:34
To complete my workflow using Seperate+ that generates CMYK Tiff images inside of Gimp i wrote a small Python plugin for Gimp that allows you to convert the saved CMYK Tiff image into a PDF for prepress.

Just some days ago PDFedit was released as a new version and is now being updated again. This is just a bugfix release of 0.4.Sunday, 24. February 2008, 21:27:04
Scribus is a fine open source application for print and dtp. I'm using 1.3.4 often but it has its bug and so i'm waiting for an update. I was a little bit confused about the newer 1.3.3.x releases because 1.3.4 sounds like a successor of 1.3.3. Now i found a little preview of Scribus 1.3.5 which will hopefully hit the streets soon.Friday, 22. February 2008, 16:41:36
With support for PDF 1.6/ 1.7, bugfixes and a Tango icon theme a new version of PDFedit is available.Thursday, 7. February 2008, 13:33:06
Envince and all the others PDF viewesr are great for the daily use working with office documents. But the best for print layout previewings is always the Adobe PDF Reader. Adobe updated it to version 8.1.2 now, read about the changes at GnomeFiles.Thursday, 6. September 2007, 16:10:59
