Hi, there is the simple pdf viewer mupdf which could be a good alternative to Xpdf: http://www.mupdf.com Download: http://mupdf.googlecode.com/files/mupdf-0.9-source.tar.gz You will need freetype2, jbig2dec, libjpeg, openjpeg, and zlib. Or unzip the thirdparty package: http://mupdf.googlecode.com/files/mupdf-thirdparty.zip May give it a try ;) Perhaps this viewer is worth to add it to the book... Personally I belive Xpdf is one of the worst pdf viewer in terms of zooming and anti-aliasing.
