dear all, am just thinking aloud to myself:
a download of adobeacrobat reader 5.0.8, at a whopping 9mb, is happening in the background. so far, all the pdfs created from scribus look disappointing when rendered under linux-native utilities such as xpdf, kpdf, and several others. also read on the scribus site that i could even consider running acrobat under wine. so all this makes me think: wouldn't it be great if rather than imposition, the pdf-viewing and rendering issue had its own GPLed utility? then scribus could be used as both dtp and as adobe designer 9the acrobat forms designer), and the scribusPDFviewer, or whatever you call it, the much-needed pdf-display and handling software. no need to write it from scratch. just advance the work of the existing pdf viewers. please, this is just my two bits on this. just a thought that occurred to me. :-) LL
