Package: xpdf-reader
Version: 3.02-1.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
using texdoctk, sometimes vieving a pdf document fails because the
document is indexed in texdoctk database with the name
/long/path/document.pdf, while on the file system there is a
compressed version of the document, say /long/path/document.pdf.gz
i have found a solution to this problem, configuring texdoctk so that
it uses zxpdf to open pdf's, and modifying zxpdf to look for a
possibly compressed file
of course you could consider also merging /usr/bin/xpfd and
/usr/bin/zxpdf, so that a mere "xpdf /long/path/document.pdf" could do
the right thing in (almost) every circumstance
thank you
