Ed,

   Me, neither. For some reason xpdf does not display .pdf files printed from
Web pages; the image area is completely black. And, sometimes xpdf cannot
recognize a .pdf file created by what I assume is the latest from Redmond.
In these situations I used to use epdfview, but it's apparently no longer
supported and is kinda' flaky. So, ... I built mupdf from the SBo
repository. This works OK, but does not have the range of controls (such as
zooming) that xpdf supports on those files it will properly display.

   Much prefer viewers where navigation uses keys rather than the pointy
device.

   So, what else is new? But at least their bugs and vulnerabilities are
limited to Windows. :-) (Brian Krebs announced a huge patch release from
Adobe today.)

Thanks,

Rich
