- Much from HTML 4.0 - that is relevant for printing - is supported (incidentally, the PostScript and PDF versions of the HTML 4.0 draft, were generated using html2ps). For example, all character entities (except ‌, ‍, ‎, and ‏) are supported. - Many possibilities to control the appearance. Starting with this version, this is mostly done using configuration files. - Support for processing multiple documents, also automatically by recursively following links. - A table of contents can be generated, either from the links in a document, or automatically from document headings. - Configurable page headers/footers, that for example can contain document title, URL, page number, current heading, and date. - When converting the PostScript document to PDF - using some other program such as version 5.0 or later of Aladdin Ghostscript, or Adobe Acrobat Distiller - the original hyperlinks in the HTML documents will be retained in the PDF document. - Automatic hyphenation and text justification can be selected.

KPDFTool is a Qt based frontend for GhostView and ImageMagick to perform basic operations with PDF and PS (PostScript) files such as merging or extracting pages, as well as protecting the text from copying.

ltablex modifies the tabularx environment to combine the features of the tabularx package (auto-sized columns in a fixed width table) with those of the longtable package (multi-page tables).

latexdiff is a Perl script that compares two latex files and marks up significant differences between them (i.e. a diff for latex files). Various options are available for visual markup using standard latex packages such as "color.sty". Changes not directly affecting visible text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in the latex source. A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script, latexrevise, which accepts or rejects all changes. Manual editing of the difference file can be used to override this default behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only. There are also scripts to handle multiple-file documents, and files under version control.

If PDF is electronic paper, then pdftk is an electronic staple-remover, hole-punch, binder, secret-decoder-ring, and X-Ray-glasses. Pdftk is a simple tool for doing everyday things with PDF documents. Keep one in the top drawer of your desktop and use it to: Merge PDF Documents Split PDF Pages into a New Document Decrypt Input as Necessary (Password Required) Encrypt Output as Desired Burst a PDF Document into Single Pages Report on PDF Metrics, including Metadata and Bookmarks Uncompress and Re-Compress Page Streams Repair Corrupted PDF (Where Possible) Pdftk is also an example of how to use a library of Java classes in a stand-alone C++ program. Specifically, it demonstrates how GCJ and CNI allow C++ code to use iText's (itext-paulo) Java classes.
