Ubuntu :: Need Better PDF Reader
Apr 27, 2010
trying to find the best pdf reader. adobe reader is ok but with 10-11 pdfs opened, scrolling through each pdf, it gets kind of annoying having to physically click the inside of each pdf to scroll down, instead of switching tabs, and getting focus automatically
the default PDF viewer is pretty slow. i have about 200 pages with a great amount of images and adobe reader searched a lot faster. i find myself having to wait about 40-45 seconds for it to scan the whole PDF.
anyone have any suggestions out there on a better pdf reader?

I have openSUSE 11.2, 64 bits. I use Evince from the very beginning. Since a few weeks, when I want to open a .pdf file, Acrobat Reader appears and reads my file. It seems to have become the default reader now. However, I never wanted to change from Evince :this simple program is well enough for me. I tried various ways, but I can't define Evince as my default .pdf reader. How can I make Evince to become my default reader again please ?

i am using for few years ubuntu gnome distributions. I am having lot of problems with my Dell Mini 9 and external display, ([URL] and i have lot of pdf books. I tried few readers but adobe was the best one (especially for scans of old books), but still, it can be very slow. Does anyone knows if it make any difference in performance if i switch to KDE or XFCE version? And maybe as subquestion-can i avoid my problems with external display freezing if i switch from gnome to some other desktop version?

How to read kindle books on Ubuntu 9.10? I googled and tried the wine with Kindle for PC and that didn't work. Mebbe I did somethig wrong. Anway, I have a very nice EEE that I love having Ubuntu on it and am desperately trying to avoid the Windows OS, but the Kindle app. is most important. Wonder if Amazon or open source software solutions are in sight?

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and need to access government sites that require a cac card login. I followed every instruction posted [URL] on how to set up the cac reader, but it is not working in firefox. Pcsc_scan detects the card reader and the card when it is inserted with the following output:
Code:
wulu@MLP:~$ pcsc_scan

When I loaded the device in firefox's security devices, it loaded fine without any error, but does not allow me to login (the button is disabled). In the Details pane the status is shown as "not present".

Tech support installed a new computer for me at work yesterday and it's running 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10. I succeeded in installing Adobe Reader 9 (I need to review PDF documents in a number of PDF readers including Adobe as part of my job) but I can't open any PDFs using Reader. I ran "acroread" in the shell and it rendered this output:
Code: (acroread:17035): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (1179128842) I've tried Googling all this, but nothing helpful has been forthcoming.

There are two things that evince does not do that I need it to do:
1) In dual page viewing mode, it needs to know what to do with the first page. Sometimes the first page is a cover, and sometimes it is not. The facing pages are not correct if the first page is not a cover page, then evince does not place the facing pages on the same screen for me
2) I want to view pages using the best fit mode. I then click on a page in the side pane and the document suddenly changes back to fit page width mode. The "save current settings ad default" does nothing
Because of this, I would like either a fix or a recommendation for a better pdf reader.

I have all of my music on an SD card so it doesn't take up space on my hard drive. I put it into my SD card reader and ubuntu is all like, "gtfo doesn't exist."

I tried evince, okular and foxit reader for linux and wasn't able to change background and foreground colours with them. I'm able to do this with foxit reader for windows, so unless I find something that runs natively on ubuntu, I'll try running it under wine.

I've read a few things on this forum that people can read their .cbr's but those posts were back in 2005. Is there a known problem with cbr and karmic? If not how do I fix this? I'm way behind on my comic reading since I moved to ubuntu and I need to catch up!

I recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 (colossal mistake) on my MacBook Pro and lost sound.In my effort to get it back, I ended up trashing the installation, so I formatted and installed Lucid from scratch. When I try to run the foxit that I re-installed from Foxit's website, I get absolutely nothing? I ran through the install using a number of instructions and still get the same result - basically an executable that does nothing.

I'm having some issues with DVD playback. Blu-ray playback is not an issue (at least no more than it is for anyone else using Linux), but when I try to play a DVD the video is garbled and choppy, same as the audio. (see attached picture).
I'm using an Asus BR-04B2T blu-ray reader and an Evgo nVidia gtx460 with nvidia-current drivers.
I removed the blu-ray drive and put a friends dvd drive into my computer to test and see if it's the graphics card or the drive, and the DVD player worked perfectly, flawless playback, so I know it's the drive.
Also the drive is not faulty. Both DVD and Blu-Ray work fine under my windows 7 partition.
I forgot to mention, VLC behaves the same as all other players, as shown in this picture. Also you can almost make out that I'm trying to watch the Simpson's box set my friend got me.

My firefox will not open a pdf (Adobe reader/acroread) directly. An error comes up that I need to change my preferences. I have gone into preferences, but there is no area for pdf reader in the preferences panel. I have tried reinstalling both acroread, and adobe reader bin file from adobe website, to no avail.

occurring seemingly randomly, every once in a while I open a pdf and find out that all my custom settings (toolbar buttons, etc.) have been wiped out. Also, as soon as I open the pdf I'm asked to accept the licence, that I had previously accepted.It's about the second time it happens in about a week. My acrobat version is 9.3.4.
