In KDE4 there is no kpdf, there is okular instead.
If I copy text from a pdf file to the clipboard in okular, it gives gibberish text, messes up the lines and inserts | signs and multiple spaces between words . I have to edit the text, which is more cumbersome than typing it manually. Is this normal? I never had such a problem in kdpf. If I copy text from the same file to the clipboard in kpdf (the latest stable version was released on August 26 2008) the copied text is OK. There are no | signs and multiple spaces between words, and the line order is maintained as well.
So we don't have either adobe reader or kpdf in openSUSE 13.1 by the default KDE4 or gnome. Does openSUSES 13.1 have a pdf viewer that works as good as adobe reader or kpdf?
Thanks,

Almost by definition, _nobody_ has a pdf viewer that works as well as Adobe's. Adobe invented the system. I really wish that some dev somewhere would stop thinking Okular and start thinking about making a _real_ Adobe clone. While I said nobody, it is at least possible that in Windows you could buy something that does all most anyone would need. So if it can be cloned for Windows, it should be possible to do it for Linux--it's just that nobody has. I think those of us who are not FOSS freaks would even pay a reasonable price for something like that. (Note the word "reasonable.") But it would have to be able to translate pdf text into a file that most word-processors could read. It would also have to have the ability to scale the pdf copy out to the page edge for printing, so as to make some little 2" x 3" user manuals that you can find on the 'net big enough to actually read. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
