[xubuntu-users] Unable to open pdf files

[John R. Sowden]

yes, when I go to the file manager and click on a pdf file, I get the 
round 'spinning' mouse pointer for 22 second, then back to the pointer.  
same with both pdf readers.  The application never opens.

On the other hand, when I click on the document viewer in the office 
menu, I get a window titled 'recent documents' that is blank. I click on 
the file foon, get a 'select a file', select my file, get a big icon, 
then nothing.
