Anyone know of public domain source that does XBRL format (&/or iXBRL) ?
& PDF V1.6 & 1.7 ?
What XBRL is:
A newish format the British government now demand for all
corporate annual financial returns (eg British CT600)
Already supported by numerous commercial software vendors, see:
http://ewf.companieshouse.gov.uk/xbrl
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/efiling/ctsoft_dev.htm
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is XML based. iXBRL is
in line XBRL, a standard for tagging XBRL within an HTML document.
Presumably coming in to much wider international use ?
I received PDF 1.6 & 1.7 files from companieshouse.gov.uk (that I
suppose relate to, or contain XBRL), that contain financial data
I'm supposed to edit & return.
The only tool I know to do that is, a free download of latest binary
Acrobat for Linux or MS-Windows, (so emulator needed too).
I've found no source in FreeBSD ports that can handle 1.6 & 7 PDFs,
Anyone know of source, whether ported to FreeBSD yet or not ?
Tools I've built & tried (generaly 8.2 release ports/ & src/ )
editors/abiword # fails on PDF V1.6
editors/koffice-kde3 # koshell fails on PDF V1.6
editors/koffice-kde3 # kword fails on PDF V1.6 says: xpdf supports version 1.4
editors/pdfedit # PDF V1.6 & 7 Unknown compression method inflate stream
graphics/epdfview # PDF V1.6 & 7 starts 1st page
graphics/mupdf # PDF V1.6 & 7 starts wait page
graphics/xpdf # fails on PDF V1.6 & 1.7 Unknown filter 'Crypt'
print/acroread9 # PDF V1.6 & 7 gets a bit further then crashes
print/ghostview # PDF V1.6 & 1.7 shows start
print/gv # fails on PDF V1.6 & 1.7
print/kpdftool # Fails on PDF V1.6 & 7
print/pdfmod # PDF V1.6 & 7 fails
print/pdftk # PDF V1.6 & 7 not tried, as CLI
Cheers,
Julian
