Do you keep it updated?  Do _they_ keep it updated?

Thanks

Well it doesn't come installed by default so I had to sudo apt-get install it. So that is as current as it comes in the repos.

The answer is there for No and Yes - as http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html seems to be the most current version there is.

I noticed that a few things were also installed, here is a snip of the History.log from my apt log from Linux Mint.

--snip--
Start-Date: 2013-10-22  07:05:05
Commandline: apt-get install xpdf
Install: lesstif2:amd64 (0.95.2-1.1, automatic), xpdf:amd64 (3.03-10ubuntu1), gsfonts-x11:amd64 (0.22, automatic)

--snip--

What is (or is not) interesting is if I uninstall xpdf and then use the auto-remove command (this should remove all those extras that installing xpdf required in the first place) it *ony* removes the 'lesstif' stuff, not the gsfonts.

For the 10.04 it shows

--snip--
Start-Date: 2013-10-22  07:05:37
Install: libt1-5 (5.1.2-3ubuntu0.10.04.2), xpdf-reader (3.02-2ubuntu1.1), lesstif2 (0.95.2-1), xpdf (3.02-2ubuntu1.1), gsfonts-x11 (0.21), xpdf-common (3.02-2ubuntu1.1)
End-Date: 2013-10-22  07:05:44

--snip--

for the install.
