Is there a pdf viewer which can do this? What pdf viewer do you think is better in terms of available search features? thanks raju Evince has an option to search backwards. Anyway, in kpdf 0.5.5, I'm able to scroll back to the first page using the thumbnails sidebar, and then new searches started with Control-F seem to start from the first page. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is what I am currently doing. But it is a bit time consuming. I'm running standard Etch amd64. As for going to page one being time-consuming, I suppose it depends on the machine. It is terribly slow on my P-II with 64 MB, but blink-of-an-eye on my Athlon64. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
