Free pdf tools software for linux

cdp-tools is a software that provides tools to work with the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP).
They were written because of a particular hosting center that insisted on learning routes using CDP, and thusly required Cisco Switches for doing their dirty work.
cdp-listen/cdp-routemgr are proof-of-concepts that may be useful if you want to implement a similarly brain-damaged proposal.
cdp-send is a must-have tool if you are in that situation. It can pretend to be just about any kind of Cisco hardware you can imagine.
The source is a bit difficult to follow as a requirement was that it build under both the ancient libnet and the new libnet code. hence, much nasty macro-ing.
Enhancements:
- DESCRIPTION, README: More docs...

VK Toolset project is intended to aide MPEG developers and hobbyist in understanding and creating conformant MPEG streams.
The current version focuses on the MPEG system layer (MPEG-1 System, MPEG-2 Program Stream), and MPEG-2 Transport bitstreams).
Enhancements:
vk_tafe
- UI changes to PCR Analysis screen
- New PTS/DTS graph (graphs PTS/DTS values against current PCR)
- UI log for STD buffer analysis
- Updated HTML documentation
- Target build platform updated to a "modern" distro -- SuSE 10. The older Mandrake version is frozen at version 0.8f which is still included in the VK-Tools packets
- Updated win32 port
view_knot_dump
- UI no longer depends on icons subdirectory to properly display
- If local .view_knot_view config does not specify the location of vk_tafe we assume its somewhere in the PATH and try to launc it
- Updated HTML documentation
- Target build platform updated to a "modern" distro -- SuSE 10. The older Mandrake version is frozen at version 0.8f which is still included in the VK-Tools packets
- Updated win32 port
- Removed Plugins. Theyve only been broken for 5 years now :)
view_knot_viewer
- No changes

The MDB Tools project is a effort to document the MDB file format used in Microsofts Access database package, and to provide a set of tools and applications to make that data available on other platforms.

Specifically, MDB Tools includes programs to export schema and data to other databases such as MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, PostgreSQL, and others.

Also, included is a SQL engine for performing simple SQL queries. The 0.5 release includes an updated GUI interface (screenshot is available here). A sparse but functional ODBC driver is included as well.

MDB Tools currently has read-only support for Access 97 (Jet 3) and Access 2000/2002 (Jet 4) formats. Access 2000 support is a recent addition and may not be as complete as Jet 3 support.

Write support is currently being worked on and the first cut is expected to be included in the 0.6 release.

phpVideoPro is a program to manage your collection of DVDs, Video CDs, and video tapes. phpVideoPro project stores all data in a database, and provides you with features for adding/changing entries, displaying lists, printing labels and lists, and more.

An online help system is built-in to guide you when necessary, and an integrated user/session management protects your data against unauthorized access. Support for multiple languages is provided, and supported databases include MySQL and PostgreSQL.

This script is intended to automatic update some data in your phpVideoPro installation with information retrieved from the IMDB. You dont need it if you never ran a version less than v0.8.2 of phpVideoPro and always used the IMDB query window to retrieve all information, since it will just update the IMDB ID (where not set) and the rating (where not set) of the movies within your database.

The script was tested on 3 different installations by me during its development. The latest test was run against an untouched installation with $write_yt, $write_aka_yt and $write_yd enabled. From the over 500 movies w/o the IMDB ID set, it automatically updated about 270 movies correctly (which is more than 50%). While many movies just have not been identified, most have been matched perfectly - only 3 false positives (the script assumed them being matched, while they didnt match) have been encountered during the process - all 3 on the $write_yd issue (more on this later). So it saves you a lot of work if you want all/most movies have the rating values set.

The script itself makes use of the phpVideoPro "libraries" to do its job. This means, for many things it uses the settings of the given installation, e.g. concerning the IMDB cache and the like.

The Linux Wireless Extension and the Wireless Tools are an Open Source project sponsored by Hewlett Packard (through my contribution) since 1996, and build with the contribution of many Linux users all over the world.

The Wireless Extension (WE) is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as the driver support Wireless Extension).

Another advantage is these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the driver (or Linux).

The Wireless Tools (WT) is a set of tools allowing to manipulate the Wireless Extensions. They use a textual interface and are rather crude, but aim to support the full Wireless Extension. There are many other tools you can use with Wireless Extensions, however Wireless Tools is the reference implementation.

iwconfig manipulate the basic wireless parameters
iwlist allow to initiate scanning and list frequencies, bit-rates, encryption keys...
iwspy allow to get per node link quality
iwpriv allow to manipulate the Wireless Extensions specific to a driver (private)
ifrename allow to name interfaces based on various static criteria

Most Linux distributions also have integrated Wireless Extensions support in their networking initialisation scripts, for easier boot-time configuration of wireless interfaces. They also include Wireless Tools as part of their standard packages.
Wireless configuration can also be done using the Hotplug scripts and distribution specific support, this enable the proper support of any removable wireless interface (Pcmcia, CardBus, USB...).

Any versions of the Pcmcia package offer the possibility to do wireless configuration of Pcmcia and Cardbus card through thefile wireless.opts. This allow to fully integrate wireless settings in the Pcmcia scheme mechansism. However, this method is now deprecated in favor of distribution specific methods.

Please note that the Wireless Tools (starting with version 19) supports fully IEEE 802.11 parameters and devices, support older style of devices and most proprietary protocols, and are prepared to handle HiperLan as well. More recent versions of course adds more 802.11 support.

But, unfortunately not all drivers support all these features...

lopster-tools is a set of tools for use with Lopster that allows users to view statistics for download and upload transfer, incomplete and finished files, how many MB are downloaded or uploaded, and the difference between down- and upload, amongst other features.
