I've used xpdf, but have not used this. It is loaded by default on
Ubuntu's install. I can keep Acrobat for CLI usage. I need to locate
the MIME type for pdf in Firefox and change it to evince.
I think the problem with Acrobat is that it installs a plug-in that just
works poorly. I'm fine if the browser saves the file in /tmp and forks
a process of xpdf or evince.
Thanks for the replies,
Chris
