I'm running Sarge and discovering that often kpdf either crashes or fails to display pdf files properly. For example, attempting to view IRS forms displays the forms in 11x14 format instead of 8.5x11.
I booted WinXp and used Acrobat Reader 5.0 there and it tells me that I should upgrade to at least 5.1 (I think 7 is the latest release). It'll view the files, just not offer the latest features. Some files on the State of Montana's DOJ site simply crash kpdf. Am I correct in assuming that the best way around this in Debian is running a mixed system and using kpdf from Sid? I'm leery of messing something up by doing so. I looked at going to ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main to get a nonfree version, but I think that's only Reader 5.0 and I've run across some info at http://wiki.debian.org/PDFViewers that says: "To install acroread-plugin, you have to un-install [Xine]-ui package and viceversa." Pain. And, if I recall correctly, Acrobat Reader takes up about 100MB. How are the rest of you dealing with a need for a more up-to-date reader in Sarge?
