I didn't realise people still used Acroreader on Linux systems. As a long time Debian/PPC user, Acroreader has never been available so I've always relied on xpdf, ggv or other excellent PDF-capable viewers. Being able to press "r" to reload a document when using pdflatex and friends is one of life's simple pleasures. I've always bypassed xdvi because the final document is never sent in DVI format. Hope that's of some help. -- Debian Hint #9: If you need to know what version of Debian you're currently running, look in /etc/debian_version; if you want to know the codename for that version (for example, 3.0 is codenamed 'Woody'), check this URL: http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives.html#s-codenames
