No, but that for me is enough. The virtue of Okular and its predecessor, kpdf, for my workflow is the automatic update of the file when the underlying pdf file is updated. Adobe Reader won't do that. But Okular has printing problems, at least on my system. I don't propose a Qt4 version of Kpdf as a long term solution but as a quick fix. The required changes should be minimal, which should mean a minimum of debugging. In addition to the printing problem I see lots of otherOkular bug reports. That is to be expected in a major revision with many new features. I could I suppose download the KDE3 libraries and run Kpdf but two sets of libraries with similar or identical file names could mess things up for other apps. If QT4 is a proper superset of QT3 my proposal is feasible. If not, maybe not. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html _______________________________________________ Okular-devel mailing list Okular-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/okular-devel
