Interesting reply. On my Slackware system I decide which pdf reader is to be used. I usually designate Acroread because it has the most features. When I prepare a doc for others to read (see below) I check it first in Acrobat Reader. It is the pdf reader that a wide range of users is likely to have access to. AFAIK the typical MSWin user will not have evince, epdf etc. Indeed I don't have those readers. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
