It may also show annotations. A cursory web search for a PDF with annotations came up empty, otherwise I'd test both natively in Ubuntu. Thank you all for the suggestions. In general I think installing the linux layer defeats the whole joy of fbsd. Why use linux layer on fbsd if I can just use linux directly. Perhaps I'm spoiled by having access to multiple fbsd and linux boxes. Maybe it's more of an issue for others. Anyway, evince didn't work for me at all, probably some ia64 issue. The easiest solution for me is acroread on linux. Thanks again Anton The points you made about running Linux 'stuff' on FreeBSD I completely agree with. But, it's the fault of these proprietary software people that make it difficult for us FreeBSD users and so whilst I don't like the concept of it, it's unfortunately something I have to live with as FreeBSD is my main desktop and development environment. xpdf can't do all of the things that's occasionally required, that was my reason for installing the Linux acroread, along with the flash player, etc. ... I'm glad you found a solution to your issue though. That's the main thing.

It's not evince that uses libxul, it's x11/yelp which is a runtime dependant. I simply installed evince and forcibly deleted yelp. It's only needed as a help browser so provided you don't use F1/Menu=Help you'll be fine. As for the original question, I don't have a suitable document to test it with. If you want to send one over, I can test it for you, but installing evince and trying it yourself is probably just as quick. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
