I have just about every PDF viewer installed that will run on Xubuntu 14.04. My default workhorse is plain old Evince. Qpdfview is not bad, but Evince has a "properties" option that displays information about the file, including fonts, which is occasionally useful. Evince (like Okular and qpdfview) can also import a straight Postscript file (.ps), and then save as PDF if desired. Okular, as mentioned above, needs KDE, but I have so many other KDE apps installed that it doesn't add much more. I hardly ever use it because its print function is worthless, e.g., if you tell it the document is landscape it still prints as portrait, plus it fails to see options available in my prnters. Acroread lets me view properties like fonts and usually prints correctly, but takes forever to launch. Mostly I keep it around because if I need to send a file to an outside print company Acroread is the gold standard. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
