2) Seeing the discussion about the lack of a proper PDF reader... Well, kpdf supports hyperlinks (if that's what's missing from the other non-Acroread readers) - I can't think of a reason why I'd want acroread. With the desktop "native" reader (kpdf) I have the same printing dialoges etc. etc. as I have in every other KDE application.
To me the most critical feature missing from gpdf, xpdf and other PDF viewer alternatives that acroread provides is decent text select/copy capability. xpdf has a totally broken text selection model - basically a draw function selection where you select a region within a rectangle (which can't even cross a page boundary) without regard for text flows. gpdf doesn't even have that and is missing other basic features like search (not to mention it's a dog from a performance perspective)! gpdf is just a gnome flavored pdflaunch. Is kpdf just another flavor of pdflaunch? Finally, nothing I know of except for acroread handles PDF forms properly. This seems to be a rapidly emerging media format, which I'm acutely aware of this time of year since the IRS now has most of their tax forms available in PDF form format. Anybody out there using evince that has experience with PDF forms? Does it handle them properly (i.e. let you fill the PDF forms in)? -Bob _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
