Hi,

I've actually just about got that done. I just modified my primary .vimrc to use two spaces instead of four (the files are using spaces and not tabs correct?).

I've also been browsing the code base. Haven't spent tremendous amounts of time with it, but I'm putting in time here and there. I'll look up the PDF1.7 documentation and get familiar with it as well.

I guess after that, I can start asking about stuff thats been put in Flyspray?

Anyone have tips on a good place to get my feet wet with GNU PDF?

Just your luck - the code base is still small enough that you can read
all of the code and see how things are meant to work.  All I can
suggest is that you read through and see how files and data structures
are all related.  And maybe spend some time setting up your favorite
editor to display things the way you like and save files according to
the coding rules in effect.

You may also want to read through the PDF1.7 documentation; you can
get an electronic copy from Adobe and I think you can also get a copy
of the international standard from other sources.  After all, you need
to have at least some familiarity with the PDF specification before
you can understand what the code is trying to accomplish; at the very
least you'll have a clue where to start looking for references in the
specs.
