It's a real PageStream filter and not a script. It offers following benefits: - It does not only add new formats, it also improves already supported formats by offering more complete format support. - Speed for certain file formats is higher - The filter does not need much memory - Reliability is a major concern. In case of problems, this filter will provide complete error info with possible fix-hints and retry options. - The filter uses the IRW library for loading. This means, locale support and more...
