==== Getting Started ====
The slides {{pdf:esug2011_slides_pdf_in_smalltalk.pdf|"PDF in Smalltalk"}} (a talk at [[http://www.esug.org/|ESUG]] 2011), give an overview of what this project is about.

Load the **{PDFtalk Project}** bundle from the [[storeaccess|Cincom Public Store]] into your [[http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/products/visualworks/|VisualWorks]] image.

Copy the original {{pdf:pdf32000_2008.pdf|PDF specification (ISO standard PDF 32000-1:2008)}} to your image directory. This PDF is needed for some examples and tests.

Note 1: The old version of the library is still in the store under the name {PDF Development}. Don't load this.

Note 2: The library uses the ''Values'' package. There has been an incompatible change in version 3. Unfortunately, the old version is in the contribution of VisualWorks up to version 8.3.2. If the old version is loaded, you get errors about ''OrderedDictionary''. This class has been renamed to ''Valuemap'' in the new version. If this error hits you (I tried to prevent this by improving the prerequisites), please load ''Values'' version 3.x first.

Try the [[examples|demos and examples]].
