Date: May 19, 2005 11:43:56 AM CEST
On Wed, 18 May 2005 Dirk Krause submitted an update to his
png2pdf
package to CTAN.
Location on CTAN: /support/png2pdf
Summary description: PNG to PDF converter
License type: bsd
Announcement text:
The png2pdf program converts PNG images to PDF. An alpha channel in the PNG file can be used to mix against a specified background color and/or to create a PDF image mask or PDF alpha channel. The program may be of interest for pdfLaTeX users creating posters, flyers having colored background. This release contains a documentation update only, the program code was not changed. There was a question in comp.text.tex how to use png2pdf with the beamer document class. I added an example to the PDF manual.
Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
