I had always used KPDF as it seemed so much lighter and faster than acroread. However, it has only a very small portion of the full functionality of acroread. I had never noticed but our clients did.
It's everything from small things (like mousing into to lower left corner and seeing the document size -very handy for non-standard sizes such as construction drawings) to the massive printing problem that afflicts all other Linux pdf readers - at least in Lenny, no pdf reader could print non-default print sizes. No matter what we did, every single PDF reader we tried insisted on printing to the default paper size. Apparently this is a well known bug from the hours of searching we did. Only acroread would let our client print their construction drawings without shrinking them down letter or A4 size - John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
