FYI, this package has been removed, and won't be present in future
stable releases. #214928 indicates that it was orphaned for 2 years,
without anyone expressing interest in adopting it.
Finally, from http://ftp-master.debian.org/:

| Removed the following packages from unstable:

| pdfscreen | 1.5-6 | source, all
| Closed bugs: 214928
