A more complete PDF reader for Puppy Linux?
A more complete PDF reader for Puppy Linux?
Hello,
Is there a PDF reader that allows underlining, highlighting, inserting notes, bookmarks, etc that runs fine in Puppy?
I’m used to Okular but I don´t find it in Puppy Package Manager ... maybe I need to add a new repository?
Thanks!
(I tried Foxit but: i was unable to make it the default reader; the application crashes when i open a PDF through "Open>File"; looking to the menus, this version of Foxit seems to be just a basic reader without any of the functions above)

The Linux Foxitreader does a lot less. It is pretty similar to ePDFview. The Windows version has traditionally run well on Linux using wine... but you might be better off using Okular. What version of Puppy are you using?

You might also want to check out Xournal (available on this forum, although I'm not sure if it is the latest) or the patch which adds annotation capability to xpdf http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/portsntools.html

This article, here,mentions editing pdfs using Inkscape & OpenOffice.
While I haven't tried Inkscape, I've had some success with OOffice, using the PDF import extension.
( I say some success because not all pdfs I've tried have saved properly)

While I applaud that pdfescape does, I don't want to be sending every PDF I read to pdfescape.com

I use Master PDF Editor:
http://code-industry.net/free-pdf-editor.php
It needs qt4 libraries:
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages ... t-dpup.pet
(tested in wary)
or:
http://www.4shared.com/file/Fs1zcssq/qt-471.html
(tested in wary, puppy 4 series and recent puppies)
or:
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages ... -4.8.2.sfs
(only in recent puppies).

PeasyPDF is not a PDF document reader. It just suggests mupdf as a light-weight viewer with a keyboard interface.
