xpdf for viewing.  The only .pdf creation I do is letter attachments
to those less fortunate (non-linux).  OpenOffice has a automagic
.pdf button now.  Be sure to proof the output, though.

2004-08-08 Thread NabilM
Ok, thanks a lot to your guys. Its worked very well. But no one told me
the reason why doesn't the MandrakeUpdate calls this program
automatically? Also, is this program a part of gnome package or
mandrake? Some details would help me learn more. 

Also, what do you guys use to view/create/modify the pdf files on linux?
What is the software for that you would recommend?

Nothing wrong with a group consensus (just try to get that on the Mandrake 
Offtopic list!!!) :-)

PS If it makes you feel any better, I didn't mention running it as root, then

Try this: 
 
su to root and enter 
update-menus -v 
then do the same in your user account.

Hi Nabil. Don't know if this will help your particular situation or not but 
have you tried (as root):

update-menus -v

See if it works.
