Thanks for all of the help, outputting PDF files is working very well for me now.
Sorry for the late reply, have been trying to clear the decks a bit this week. I am using Jconsole a lot now. I tried to install execstack but the package does not appear to exist: m...@mb-laptop:~/j64-602/bin$ sudo execstack -s jconsole [sudo] password for mb: sudo: execstack: command not found m...@mb-laptop:~/j64-602/bin$ sudo apt-get install execstack Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package execstack m...@mb-laptop:~/j64-602/bin$ locate execstack m...@mb-laptop:~/j64-602/bin$ man execstack No manual entry for execstack m...@mb-laptop:~/j64-602/bin$ Does any body know a program that will show thumbnails of the pdf files in a directory (like a slide show) so that I can flick through my plots on Linux? On Windows I would use XnView http://www.xnview.com/ but the Linux version is rubbish. At the moment I am using gv (ghost view) but it is cumbersome to look at more than one file at a time.
