Hello,
in general I do not have a problem reading a pdf file with either
xpdf or documentviewer.
But once in a while I get a pdf file that they cannot read and then I
have to go to Windows to open it.
What is so spectacular about these files that they cannot be read by
the above mentioned programs? Is there another program that would
read such a file?
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
thanks a lot for this interesting discussion.
As stated before I used documentviewer and xpdf.
As a consequence of this discussion I tried evince and mupdf.
They did not solve the problem.
I did not try atril and okular because for those I would have to
install so much extra stuff that I probably will use only in this
context.
Thus I do not know whether they would solve the problem.
My conclusion: This seems to be the result of generating the pdf file
under Windows. To read the file I have to use the latest version of
the Acrobat Reader. Thus I will continue to use Windows in the few
cases I get such a document.
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
Possibly you could run Adobe Reader under wine and not actually have to
run Windows.
Best regards,
