Xpdf is an open-source PDF viewer for the X Window System and Motif.[1][3] Xpdf runs on practically any Unix-like operating system. Xpdf can decode LZW and read encrypted PDFs. The official version obeys the DRM restrictions of PDF files, which may prevent copying, printing, or converting some PDF files.[1] There are patches which make Xpdf ignore these DRM restrictions.[4]
Xpdf includes several programs that don't need an X Window System, including some which extract images from PDF files or convert PDF to PostScript or text. These programs run on DOS, Windows, Linux and Unix.[1]
Xpdf is also used as a back-end for other PDF readers frontends such as KPDF and GPDF,[3] and its engine, without the X11 display components, is used for PDF viewers including BePDF on BeOS, '!PDF' on RISC OS, on PalmPDF[5] on Palm OS[1] and on Windows Phones[6]
Two versions exist for AmigaOS. Xpdf needs a limited version of an X11 engine called Cygnix on the host system. Apdf is native and needs no X11.

So BeautifuI
by: Simply RedI was listening to this conversation
Noticing my daydream stimulated me more
I was crumbling with anticipation
You better send me home before I tumble down to the
floor
You're so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what am I doing here
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the curlers in your hair
My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown
now?
Something's glistening in my imagination
Motivating something close to breaking the law
Wait a mo before you take me down to the station
I've never known a one who'd make me suicidal before
She was so beautiful but oh so boring
I'm wondering what was I doing there
So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
If anyone out there really cares
About the colour of your hair
My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown
now?
