I write and publish textbooks for linguistics. Generally I don't have a problem with PDFs, but occasionally something happens that requires additional tools. Recently I received a PDF created in InDesign by a colleague of a local professor. She had never used InDesign before and could not understand my instructions. I knew I was in trouble after the following conversation: Me: What program did you use to create this file? Her: Windows I needed to try every possible PDF viewer to find one that would output the file to my laser printers. Adobe Reader would open the file, but printing was glacial. Okular was almost as bad. Evince wouldn't print it at all. Foxit did the best job, but was still slow. Finally I had to open the file in Windows and print to PRN file from Adobe Reader there. I found the PRN file would print beautifully from the command line with lpr. I should add that Foxit is one of the few PDF viewers that can handle editable PDFs. Okular doesn't do all possible controls, and Adobe Reader / Linux does not either. There are PDFs and then there are PDFs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
