Re: [gentoo-user] I finally ditched acroread
Hey dude, i have acroread installed but use okular since long time ago. In fact my i was in doubt if acroread still installed. I'll uninstall acroread, but how to recompile packages without 32-bit ABI? Is there a smart way or I need to change e recompile each one? Best regards.

I haven't used acroread or Qoppa's PDFStudio, but qpdfview and okular will copy and save selections as images, which you can save and print thereafter. If you prefer to work on a terminal mutool will also extract images. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
