Name of contribution: png2pdf Suggested location on CTAN: /support/png2pdf Summary description: PNG to PDF converter License type: gpl
Announcement text:
Png2pdf is a converter from PNG to PDF. Although one can use PNG images directly in pdfLaTeX I had problems sometimes when pictures had an alpha channel. Using png2pdf one can convert PNG to PDF, the alpha channel can be used for mixing against a user specified background, a background color from the PNG file's background chunk and/or to create an image mask. For PDF level 1.4 the alpha channel can be transferred into the PDF file.
The project was moved to SourceForge in November 2003. This update contains new documentation pointing to http://png2pdf.sourceforge.net as primary location for documentation and software.
No changes in functionality.
Thanks for the update, I installed it.
