Obtain PDFgetX2 and IDL

The recommended way to obtain program PDFgetX2 is to download it directly from its homepage at

http://www.pa.msu.edu/cmp/billinge-group/programs/PDFgetX2/

Recent updates, bug fixes, and other related information are also posted on-line. Please check back from time to time. If the web is not accessible, please send us email (billinge@pa.msu.edu) to arrange alternative shipment.

A commercial IDL licensed distribution (version 6.0 or higher), or the freely downloadable IDL Virtual Machine (IDL^VM), is the only prerequisite to run PDFgetX2. The IDL^VM is available from the download section of the IDL website http://www.rsinc.com/download/. Supported platforms by IDL include Linux/UNIX, WINDOWS, and MACINTOSH. No specific hardware is used by PDFgetX2. In principle, PDFgetX2 can run on any platform where IDL can be installed and widgets are supported.
