  My goal, is to code (at this time I'm trying to code ;-)) ) a tool which
will be execute on a PC under Windows or Linux and wich generate a Digital
Book package.

  I have downloaded the xpdf source (only this one) and I'm going to study
it.

  OK, I'm searching the tools and I will analyze the Newton Book that I
