I find that some pdf files will not print properly in 32-bit 10.04 using evince. The document is sent to the printer and then the printer simply flashes and never prints the document (I have waited an hour). The same documents *will* print quickly when I print with acrobat reader, although when using reader the the following error message appears in the terminal:
Ubuntu 9.04 and a Konica 2430 DL on USB. I can get a Ubuntu test page from the printer management screen (printout says GPL. Postscript version 3010 revision 864) and I can print from Firefox. I cannot print PDFs from either Acrobat or Evince. The print jobs show up as completed in the print jobs list.
Using Ubuntu 10.10. I cannot set Firefox to open PDFs with evince. Actually I have no idea where it grabs mime info from. I know I could manually choose /usr/bin/evince or something, but isn't there a way to make Firefox simply see what my desktop settings are, or at least offer me the choices?
I had some problems with printing pdf on my HP 1020 (it was printing only text, but not figures or pictures). After reinstalling a few times, I realised that problem was not the driver, but the type of pdf format. Some pdf creator (like>cairo, or some creators for Windows) has format which can not be parsed on Ubuntu. Workaround is to 'print to a file' (postscript), save it somewhere and then print that new postscript document.
I have installed some pdf readers on my notebook, and the one I most liked was evince. But there are two available evince packages: evince and evince-gtk. What is the difference between them? Does one of them have advantages as to the other?
I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.
I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.
Gnome Do as default on my machine tries to run pdfs and they won't open when run but when I tab over and select open it's fine. Can this default be changed and how.
Somehow in the last couple of days, my adobe acrobat reader quit working online. I can read pdf files on my computer, but if try to access one through my google browser, I get a blank page. What can I do to fix? I tried downloading the most recent update of adobe but when I went to run the program I get an error message indicating there is no program to open the update file.
how I can get elinks to open pdfs using xpdf? I know that there are other browsers/pdf programs but I'm using this across the internet and this seems to be the lowest bandwidth option!
I read few threads from 2006, and at that time it seemed there was no good way to save a PDF which had data input in the form fields. Has this changed? Printing is not really an option, since I won't fill these forms in one sitting. When I save with Ubuntu's default PDF viewer, the form field data does not seem to be saved along with the PDF.
I just saw library application of ipad, and i am wonder if there is any application for ubuntu like that?I searched on web and found somethings like :
alexandria calibre
but these apps just show some data of e-books like author, publishers , ...i need something that adds pdf files that are IN MY HARD drive presents them and lets me to read them
I'd like to be able to change the program that downloaded PDFs open with in Firefox. I'm using Gnome. Currently, when I double click on a PDF in the downloaded file list, it opens up in Adobe Reader, even though evince is currently the default in nautilus. How I can change it so that downloaded files are opened with evince?
I am trying to download all the Heroes graphic novels off the nbc site. Originally I was downloading them via the provided links but with ~170 pdfs to download it was going to take a while I used wget to start downloading them a bit faster, I tried the command
$wget -N -r -l inf -p -np -k -A '.pdf' url
in an attempt to download all the pdfs at once, I got an error message
I recently popped in the CD that came with one of my textbooks from school and figured I would be able to rip it pretty easily, but guess what? Too my surprise I find that each chapter of the textbook has it's own PDF file and that each one is encrypted. Is there anyway I can decrypt the PDFs and merge them all into one?
Like [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.

Is it possible to do the following without using the Adobe reader?Adobe Reader (acroread) has a nice search feature that allows to search for strings inside all .pdf files in certain directories (e.g. show me all lines containing the word "recursion" in all PDF files in or below directory "/papers", which gives you a neat clickable list and the sentence for each hit).I much prefer Okular for viewing PDFs, but I am at a loss on how to duplicate the above feature without acroread under linux. The KDE FindFile apparently does not search inside PDFs, or at least not in an intelligible way. I do have Nepomuk running, hogging resources, but I don't understand how to query it - if this is possible at all. So what can I do besides using acroread?
Ok this is a problem that has dogged me for years but I was hoping it was fixed in 11.4. Using the acroreader plugin pdfs sometimes work but most often they result in a white or black blank screen and once one pdf has failed then they all fail until I restart firefox. It is a huge pain - under kubuntu I have used mozplugger to display pdfs with okular in the browser but this doesn't seem to be in the repos.
I don't think it is just me, all the people I know using suse seem to have this problem but it never gets fixed. how to get pdfs reliably displayed in firefox?
I installed evince on my Arch Linux system as a PDF reader, and everything was fine for a while. And then I installed GIMP. Since then, PDF files have been opening in GIMP. I've tried reinstalling evince, I've tried editing ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list , I've tried editing /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache, but PDF files still open in GIMP by default.
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).
I'm trying to run Jarnal for purposes of exporting notes from my e-book (Sony PRS-600) into PDFs. (Anyone interested in the details can check out [URL]..There's a .deb for Jarnal available, which installs successfully, but trying to run Jarnal produces the following error message:/usr/bin/jarnal: line 17: 4089 Aborted java -Xmx192m -jar ${JARNALDIR}/jarnal.jar -g -t ${TEMPLATESDIR}/templates/default.jaj "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"The Jarnal .deb is available at [URL]general /soft.arnal-down.htm There's also a regular zip package available, and trying to run that after unzipping produces the following:
Whenever I click a website link to a .pdf I get this error message, "Could not launch Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application." Even though there is no Adobe Reader installed on my p.c.
I then have to right click the link and "Save link as How do I set the PATH variable so that Evince can open the document directly without first having to save the link?
I need to copy an image from a pdf file to a open office word document. I click save picture or copy picture, and in both ways, the picture ends up a black square when opened or pasted.
I've been having a problem with printing a particular pdf file from Evince. The pdf is opened and displayed correctly but when I want to print all I get is sheets with only punctuation marks on them. These punctuation marks correctly correspond to what is in the document but all the text in between them is not printed.
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 can find all kinds of evince files but no executable or "link to executable." I can find all the other ubuntu installs, like gedit, gimp, etc. in my /usr/bin folder. But not evince. Even though Document Viewer runs fine.I need this because I installed Adobe reader (ugh) and it took over as the default .pdf reader. The simple ways of trying to return default application to evince did not work, so I searched here and found a solution (y'all rule) -- edited the mimeapps.list file. Worked great. .pdf files now open in Document Viewer by default again.
Except, Thunderbird is still using Adobe reader as default for pdf files, and to change that I have to browse to the program I want to use instead. (Evince does not show up in the "open with" options I get by right clicking.) Can't browse to evince or enter path because I don't know where it is and can't find it anywhere..
