It's based on xpdf, it's not using it. It was a fork, and now, it goes
further. Have you difficulties to understand your own language? I'm here
to improve my English, if native English speakers are unable to master
it, I'll have difficulties to improve. Please learn your own language,
that's all I need. You inability with computers doesn't affect my
learning, it's only adding fun.

I'm stupid, that's a fact. But I'm not stupid enough to listening to
you. If I ever believe something you write could be right, the first
thing I do is to check it.

The only one stupid enough to believe in what you say is your pet dog
the terrorist.

So what?

Zathura is more than twenty years old, nothing new neither. A
long-established tool using a long-established library is exactly what
you are looking for.

It's not around old software, it's around old libraries. Nobody is using
directly the libraries to read pdf. One needs some efficient way to use
the libraries and that's zathura's purpose.

I'm not surprised you don't understand the difference. The only thing
you can manage is to look at the pictures once you extracted them.
