Paps is a UTF-8 to PostScript converter that makes use of pango. It provides both a stand alone command line tool as well as a library.

"Pcal" is a program to print PostScript calendars for any month and year. By default, it looks for a file in the home directory named "calendar" for entries with leading dates matching dates on the calendar, and prints any following text under the appropriate day.

pslib is a C-library to create PostScript files on the fly. It offers many drawing primitives, inclusion of png and eps images and a very sophisticated text rendering including hyphenation, kerning and ligatures. It can read external Type1 fonts and embed them into the output file. It supports pdfmarks which makes it in combination with ghostscript's pdfwriter an alternative for libraries creating PDF.

PyPdf isaA Pure-Python library built as a PDF toolkit. It is capable of: - extracting document information (title, author, ...), - splitting documents page by page, - merging documents page by page, - cropping pages, - merging multiple pages into a single page, - encrypting and decrypting PDF files.

PyScript is a python module for producing high quality postscript graphics. Rather than use a GUI to draw a picture, the picture is programmed using python and the PyScript objects. Some of the key features are: * All scripting is done in python, which is a high level, easy to learn, well-developed scripting language. * All the objects can be translated, scaled, rotated, ... in fact any affine transformation. * Plain text is automatically kerned. * You can place arbitrary LaTeX expressions on your figures. * You can create your own figure objects, and develop a library of figure primitives. * Output is publication quality.

PyRTF is a pure python module for the efficient generation of rich text format documents. It has good support for tables and tries to maintain compatibility with as many RTF readers as possible.

QPDF is a program that can be used to linearize (web-optimize), encrypt (password-protect), decrypt, and inspect PDF files from the command-line. It does these and other structural, content-preserving transformations on PDF files, reading a PDF file as input and creating a new one as output. It also provides many useful capabilities to developers of PDF-producing software or for people who just want to look at the innards of a PDF file to learn more about how they work. QPDF understands PDF files that use compressed object streams (supported by newer PDF applications) and can convert such files into those that can be read with older viewers. It can also be used for checking PDF files for structural errors, inspecting stream contents, or extracting objects from PDF files. QPDF is not PDF content creation or viewing software -- it does not have the capability to create PDF files from scratch or to display PDF files.

Scribus is a desktop publishing program, similar to Adobe PageMaker(TM), QuarkXPress(TM) or Adobe InDesign(TM). Scribus offers support for professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, easy PDF creation, Encapsulated Postscript import/export and creation of color separations.

This is JadeTeX, a TeX backend for Jade. JadeTeX enables you to produce formatted output of documents written with the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). JadeTeX uses tex to produce Device Independent (DVI) output; from there, you can produce high quality hardcopy. JadeTeX also uses pdftex to produce Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of your documents, complete with hyperlinks, and suitable for distribution on the World Wide Web and other media. To use JadeTex, run your SGML document, its Document Type Definition (DTD), and its Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL) specification, through jade with the "-t tex" option. Then, to produce a DVI file, run etex "&jadetex" <file>.tex To produce a PDF file, run pdftex "&pdfjadetex" <file>.tex

Xdvik is a program for displaying DVI files (generated e.g. by Troff or TeX) on the X window system. It is based on the regular (non-k) xdvi of the same version number. This package includes pTeX support. A fontmap file for xdvi is installed as TEXMFDIST/fonts/map/xdvi/xdvi-ptex.map.
