(SOLVED) PDF Reader
« on: May 12, 2011, 10:40:21 AM »
I can't seem to see one in Phoenix. I thought this question had come up before (and would have expected it has) but a search for "pdf reader" turned up nothing.

What does Xfce use? I get The GIMP as a suggested viewer when trying to read PCLinuxOS' magazine. It sure looks funny in The GIMP...

Will Evince work? What should I be using?

I've just made a new install of 2010.12 Phoenix and don't remember what I had before. It must be galloping senility or something that makes me forget what I did in the past...

I think...  :)

Evince works well, and is what I use on Phoenix and Phinx.

Thank you for the replies. I have installed Evince and it is working very well for my needs at this time.

I'd mark this "SOLVED" but am not sure how to do it. I'm guessing that somehow I access the original message and add the word to it but haven't been able to get it to work for me...

Thank you djohnston. I thought it was something simple but didn't think to "modify" my original message. I have noted this to use in the future.

Much appreciated,
