Hi all,What the 'best' is I wouldn't know, I ussually use xpfd works simple and effective, has no useless functions etc but works fine. So for what I do with it I would say xpdf is good, at least good enough for me. If you want to see it just use the command 'xpdf' its default supplied with Xorg If I'm correct
Just wanted to know which is, according to you, the best utility to read PDF files. I notice the Acrobat7 port is mentioned as "broken" in the notes. Which program (not necessarily Adobe) would be the best alternative for everyday PDF reading ? Oh, almost forgot, I use KDE.
Thanks for your insight on this.
Edward

Xorg is not a package that includes other packages, such as some operating systems. By that I mean, if you get Xorg as such by that name, it's not going to include other tools (such as the excellent xpdf). The only way you'g get xpdf with Xorg is if you got Xorg in a package of something like KDE, where packaging in other tools IS very likely.
Hmm my mistake, I installed xpdf a long time ago and I didn't recall I had to install it manually but indeed it is a seperate package:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pkg_info | grep xpdf xpdf-3.00_6 Display PDF files, and convert them to other formats
But in any case xpdf works fine :)
