1) about acrobat decorations Thanks to everybody for the replies, I also posted to an Adobe forum http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4f15e/0 and got an answer from Gaurav Jain that said the re-appearance of suppressed WM decorations when putting Adobe reader 7 in full screen was a known issue which was fixed in version 8.
I've found a reasonable workaround for my case using AutoMove and making borders as thin as possible (unfortunately I have to do it at Style * because of the same non-honouring X11 requests issue, so I used 1 pixel) 2) about firefox and fvwm Still waiting for suggestion about how to force via fvwm (FPGraBFocus seems not enough ... should I learn FvwmEvent ?) that when I click on an URL link in acrobat on a desktop (and this correctly loads the URL in firefox in another desktop) I'm automatically switched to the other desktop. This is the behaviour I automagically have on Suse 9 / acrobat 5 / firefox 1.5 ... but not on Suse 10 / acrobat 7 / firefox 2 On Wed, 9 Apr 2008, Dominique Michel wrote:
You are using the acrobat reader on linux when it suffer of a very bad rendering of the True Type fonts (another Adobe invention). This is not a linux issue, it does the same on windows.
Seems not an issue for me. I do not see anything bad.
Have you try software like xpdf and kpdf that doesn't suffer of this problem and that can do fullscreen viewing?
I briefly tried xpdf yesterday to overcome the fullscreen decoration issue, but sincerely I found it was not quite suitable for my needs. Animated transitions were not working as expected, and the choice of accelerator keys was different.
Also that won't be a general solution. It might solve my current program (displaying a presentation on a borrowed laptop), but not the general problem (taking only the PDF file with me and using whatever viewer I'll find on the computer available at destination, and/or publishing the PDF file on the web and then the user will use whatever viewer they have.
The idea was to use PDF instead of powerpoint or openoffice because anybody will have a PDF viewer, and that will generally be some Adobe thing.
