|
|
I'm looking for a good PDF viewer, I'm using XFCE4
I'm having some problem with "evince" (can not print to pdf file)
"qpdfview" - looks good but does not allow me to select text from pdf files (to highlight the text and copy it); there is no "print to file" option when I go to print either.
What are other good alternatives? |

mupdf, or acroread (if you don't mind 32bit libraries and arcane bugs), or gv (slow).
For printing, acroread is the best. _________________ emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using kde5 | e is unstable :-/ |

I used to use epdfview, for it seems it's gone from portage now.
I switched to evince, and all around seems to be the best free reatder out there for me, along with okular (but I am guessing installing kde is not an option for you, is it?).
As for your problem, well, I don't want to spoil out the thread, but if you can't use the internal pdf renderer, there's a great chance to work around the problem by using the cups-pdf driver and creating a printer with it.
Oh, by the way, I just reminded that I had problems compiling something (and it might have been evince) using the latest and greatest version of poppler, in fact, I have this in package.mask
Code: | =app-text/poppler-0.22.2-r1 |
I am not sure if it's related, but ... |
