You elucidate well. I only wonder if it would be better to have a full screen full of small pages that a mouse over and then zoom in would bring you to what you are looking for. I suspect it's more common that people use the scroll bar for scrolling most of the time. However, I mostly deal with engineers, so that might not be the case the the general public. evince is a excellent pdf viewer -- I use it every day! Thanks to all the developers out there. _______________________________________________ Evince-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
