Thanks, Bjorn! I hadn't been checking for updates for this one.
This is a great program to have if you do a lot of work with PDF files.

OK, then I can thank the people running <http://lists.gpick.com/> for
brining the update to my attention, and the folks at news.grc.com for
feeding them new links and updates all the time

All the best,
