Xournal, génial pour annoter des PDFs

Xournal est un très simple et très pratique outil pour annoter des PDFs. Indispensable aujourd'hui quand nous recevons des formulaires par dizaines sous format PDF ou qu'il est habituel de collaborer sur des documents PDF.

L'emploi est fort simple : on ouvre le PDF avec Xournal, on utilise l'un des outils d'écriture ou de dessin (crayon, surligneurs, règle...) pour annoter puis on exporte le nouveau PDF.

Xournal est disponible au téléchargement ici : http://xournal.sourceforge.net/. Sur Linux, vous le trouverez sans doute dans votre système de paquets, sur Windows, vous pourrez télécharger la petite archive contenant l'exécutable et ses dépendances.

Souhaitant déployer l'outil sur tous les postes informatiques (Windows) de mon entreprise, j'ai fabriqué un installateur simple pour l'outil à l'aide de NSIS. Par défaut, les installateurs de NSIS acceptent d'être appelés en mode silencieux à l'aide du paramètre "/S" et l'installateur généré peut être utilisé pour un déploiement en masse avec un outil comme Updatengine.

Testé fonctionnel sur Windows 7 32 bits et 64 bits. xournal-0.4.8-win32-installer.exe

Le code de génération de l'installateur avec NSIS :
