Gnome includes a PDF viewer called Evince.  I don't even bother to
install the Acrobat product - Evince meets all standard PDF needs.



1. Make sure it is installed in Synaptic (it's part of the default
Ubuntu install so you should be good to go here)

2. Find a PDF file in Nautilus

3. Right click on the PDF file, select properties

4. In the Open with tab choose Evince (called Document Viewer with a
little red 'e' icon)

4a. if it is not an option, choose the Add button

4b. find Document Viewer in the list of available programs (this is not
sorted alphabetically)

4c. if it is not there, you can create a custom command - the command
to use is simply 'evince'



I'd be really surprised if you didn't find it in the list - I suspect
it's not installed if it is not on that list.



Leave the proprietary Acrobat alone, Evince will more than meet your
PDF viewing needs.



This will let you open PDF in Nautilus.  If you're having problems at
this point with your email client, let us know what client you're using.

    Hi, i am using Ubuntu
9.04 with Epiphany and cant read PDF from emails. With synaptic I
downloaded Acrobat 9.0 but when I open Acrobat it says to go to Edit,
preferences, internet and at bottom of window I get: please specify the
directory containing the HTML rendering library( libgtkembedoz.so or
libxul.so) this library is required for rendering HTML content in Adobe
Reader:

At this point using synaptic I seem to go nowhere, in other words I am
lost! Any help please,  Ray

    

    One at a time or all at once? Get updates from your friends in one place.
  I use Open Office and all email attached PDFs work
just
fine and open automatically with a double click.
