I can't figure out how to set Okular to be the default PDF viewer.Using Ubuntu 10.04. And it keeps using evince to open PDF files even after I changed it. See the attached picture for what I've already done.
View 5 RepliesSimple question, how do I make okular my default pdf viewer? At the moment it is evince but I want to swap.Also is it possible to remove evince?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhenever I try to open a folder or some other location on disk through any program, I get the Remote Desktop Viewer. For example, if I go to Places --> Home Folder, the RDV opens up and says "the connection to /home/<me>" is closed. It's very odd. I get the same behavior in Chromium if I select "Show in Folder" for a download.
If I go to the terminal and type 'xdg-open ~' or 'gnome-open ~' I also get the Remote Desktop Viewer, just like I do when I select home from the Places menu.
The default image viewer in 10.10 (eog) has met its match, a ~500MB image of the moon. I just thought it was kind of funny, while browsing the software center for an image viewer that could handle it, I noticed the description of the one installed by default and thought it was kind of funny, so I snapped this screenshot and thought I'd share it with you guys. By the way I have 4 GB of RAM and can view the image just fine in GIMP, just thought this was kind of funny.

I am using emacs+auctex for latex editing now, I want to change the default viewer for dvi files, since xdvi doesn't render correctly most of my documents; okular works perfectly, though I cannot make it the default viewer I went into the AUCTex manual, and there is a tex-view-program list that should contain the list of viewers, but I cannot find the way to customize that variable.
View 6 Replies View RelatedSince upgrading to 11.04 I am finding that Okular gives an error message on every file that I try open with it. I have just installed the latest update and it still reports that it is unable to open the file. Even a file on the desktop gave the same error.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed Ubuntu on a new machine and I'd like to export the annotations for my pdf files from the old computer to my new one. I'm aware that Okular has an export option that allows me to save the annotations of a single pdf and share it with an other person using okular, but that's not what I'm looking for. I've lots of annotated pdf files, and I was wondering if there is one way to copy the folder containing the files with the annotation to the right place in my new computer. There should be no problems since on both the machines I've installed the same version of Ubuntu and I already copied the "Documents" folder from one computer to the other (so that the files would have the same path). What I really need to know is which folder (or folders) I need to copy.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to embed a movie in a latex beamer presentation. I run Ubuntu 10.04 and I know running pdf embedded movies under Linux is still a problem.From what I have been able to dig up, the guys at Okular have partially solved this problem. It seems that Okular under KDE is able to run embedded movies in a pdf presentation. I downloaded it and it doesn't work for my Ubuntu distribution.Can anyone confirm this? Will installing kde through apt-get solve my problem?
I'm asking this because it also seems to be a pain to uninstall KDE and it's components after installing it.By the way, I am completely open to dual booting into a different distro in order to see my embedded movies, so if anyone has embedded movies working in some other distro, I'm open to installing it!
I'm working on a latex document with a default installation of latex/kile. Strangely enough, upon a document change, okular does not reload and display the changes. This is contrary to all other pdf viewers that I have used. Is there anything that can be done? I noticed that in the okular settings, there is an option to "Reload document on file change." Even though it is enabled, okular does not oblige.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Kile, to edit LaTeX documents and every time I click on build button Kile opens Okular which shows my .pdf. Problem begins, when I do this multiple times, as Kile opens another Okular for same document everytime I click build button. I end up having 1 pdf opened multiple times and it is getting on my nerves. Is there any way I can make Kile open only 1 Okular window and updates it when I click on build button?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst of all I must admit that I am quite new with linux, and maybe the problem I am experiencing is something trivial. Nevertheless I don't have any idea about how to handle it. When I try to print a file with Okular or with Acroread what happens is that the applications crashes and I have to terminate it, and the file is not printed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHowever, while okular seems (after lengthy evaluation) my preferred pdf viewer for READING. I still have yet to find a good application option for reading AND annotation and highlights.Where and how do I get to the okular annotation tools? Can't find them.Also, on a different, but somewhat related topic okular has been reviewed as problematic because its highlights and annotations can only be viewed in that application (this may not be a prob because cross-platform but that still seems risky to put highlights on doc only viewable in one app.looking for fixes/alternatives to that).
View 1 Replies View RelatedAccidentally noticed that I am NOT able to print pdf files in Okular (Version 0.9.4, KDE 4.3.4). Clicked print and nothing happens, no error message.The same file CAN be printed using evince on the same system. I've created the pdf file using soffice so permissions is not a problem.However, the same file CAN be printed in openSUSE's Okular.If someone can confirm that I am right/wrong, then I can decide whether to file a bug report?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy Okular can't save annotations to XML(~/.kde/share/apps/okular_/docdata/), while I added annotations using Review tools.
Okular told me to save annotation in PDF: [Do you want to save your annotation changes or discard them?]
Now, I am using Debian 8.1, and [Okular Version 0.20.2, Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.2].
However, it is OK when I used Okular in Debian 7.8.
i want use Okular instead of Evince, but I didn't find it in official repositories. Do I need install @kde-desktop to get it? I want stay with Gnome
View 2 Replies View RelatedLike [Okular-devel]bug report okular started to crash when opening some pdf files after upgrade to kde 4.3.4 I found out that the probelm was not actually in kde but another update - at some point poppler (libpoppler4, libpoppler-qt4-3 and others) was updated to 0.10.1-1.7.1 but okular did not work fine with it any more. I solved the problem by downgrading poppler back to 0.10.1-1.4 (repo-oss) and all pdfs worked fine again. The bug report above states that newer okular would need actually newer poppler (0.12.x) but it is not provided at least for opensuse 11.1 yet.
OpenSuse 11.1 64 bit
kernel 2.6.27.39-0.2-default

I write my courses with Latex and I used Kdvi to read them. Since there is Okular the rendreing is very bad and I have to use back xdvi which works perfectly but is less friendly. I have no problem with pdf files. Did somebody exprience the same thing? How is it possible to solve it? I forgot to say that the problem occurs with opensuse 11.2, 11.2 and I've updated to the last version of Okular
View 6 Replies View Relatedhaving trouble printing an encrypted pdf file (bank statement) using Okular. Have an HP f-2200 printer with HPLIP 3.9.8 CUPS driver. Using Okular 4.3.5
Every time I tried to print this file the print notification would advise printing began and then printing completed. However, nothing was ever printed. Looking at the print queue I can see that the print queue has also stopped and I need to restart this as root.
I was scratching my head for hours and playing with the print driver thinking there was a problem there. However, everything else prints fine.
I then noticed that this pdf doc is encrypted - but that is all the information that okular gives in the properties dialogue.
I installed acroread and was able to print the document right away without problem. Looking at the properties dialogue in acroread it identifies what is allowed and what is not allowed in the encrypted file. It lists "printing" as allowed.
Does Okular struggle with encrypted files as far as printing is concerned? Worth filing a bug report?
I found a particular pdf in wich okular's review function is not working. Whenever I press F the review menu doesn't show, and by trying to access it via tools -> menu it looks like the function is disabled. Why does this happen in a particular pdf (all other pdfs I've read in okular didn't have this problem).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI get heaps of errors from Okular saying that /tmp/kde-luke/* cannot be opened. I think it is doing this because I downloaded files from Firefox and opened them then closed firefox before closing the pdf files. I have tried uninstalling a purging Okular deleting the applications stuff in my home directory but it is still obsessed with these files. The only way I have been able to stop these annoying pop ups is by having the application uninstalled or running a starup script that will create these files on boot.

The PID is a different number each time i try to open a file. What could be causing this.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 with a Laserjet 5M printer. When I attempt to print a job from Firefox or from Okular, the job never gets onto the print queue. However, I can print test pages on the printer and also print from OpenOffice, so this seems to be app-dependent. I know the jobs aren't being queued because the job number doesn't increase (as shown by the jobs for the test pages). Both Firefox and Ocular give every indication that the print job has been processed correctly.
