Is there a preferred PDF Reader for OpenSuSE...?
Many, presumably, as there are many preferences...
I go with the de facto standard, Adobe Reader. The latter-day incarnations of this software are pretty good, and, as far as I can tell, on a par with their Mac and Windows counterparts. In the not-too-distant past, the Linux Reader lagged considerably behind its counterparts for the other OS platforms, but no longer.
Now, if you're allergic to proprietary software, you'll have to make do with kpdf, but that's not me.
Not specifically allergic, but just being aware of backdoors. I noticed not so long ago curious network traffic. It turned out to be generated by acrobat. For some documents, when a pdf was opened through firefox, a connection was set up to adobe. For other documents it tried to reach the original creator of that document. Perhaps there are even more side-effects that i'm not aware of. If you don't mind, ok, be these are the potential hazards of closed-source products hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
