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?

OpenSUSE :: Evince Or Acrobat Reader - Default Pdf Reader?

Aug 31, 2010

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 ?

Ubuntu :: 9.04 - CAC Reader Not Working In Firefox

May 19, 2010

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:

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".

Ubuntu :: Acrobat Reader 9 Won't Open On 9.10

Sep 3, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Evince Replacement - Any Better PDF Reader?

Dec 5, 2010

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.

May 11, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Bad DVD Playback Through BR-04B2T Blu-ray Reader

Aug 12, 2010

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.
