I'm curious if anyone's tried running the Linux version of FoxItReader
under FreeBSD's Linux emulation. There's a good chance it supports
showing annotations.
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/download.php
Also I suspect Chromium (www/chromium) has an internal PDF viewer like
the Windows & Linux versions do. It may also show annotations.
A cursory web search for a PDF with annotations came up empty,
otherwise I'd test both natively in Ubuntu.
Thank you all for the suggestions.
In general I think installing the linux
layer defeats the whole joy of fbsd.
Why use linux layer on fbsd if I can just
use linux directly. Perhaps I'm spoiled
by having access to multiple fbsd and linux
boxes. Maybe it's more of an issue for others.
Anyway, evince didn't work for me at all,
probably some ia64 issue. The easiest
solution for me is acroread on linux.
Thanks again
Anton
