http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to #! so I apologize if this post is not what the forum is intended for. Also English is not my first language so I apologize if some of the things I write don't make any sense.I've been having some issues with evince to the point I ended up installing Okular.This is a file rendered by evince. Now below I'll put the same file but rendered with okular (which shows what seems to be an accurate image of the document).I also tried using ePDFview having the same results I was having with Evince. I'm gonna stick to Okular as it seems to be the onl (HowTos)

Stories similar to Evince bad rendering.

In the Description of Evince, the document viewer supports pdf, tiff, rtf and djvu, but when I want to open a djvu file in Evince, I got the yellow frame saying that Evince does not support djvu files.

I searched for a librairy or a plugin for Evince to help it support djvu but I didn't find anything.

How to teach Evince to read djvu ?

Does anyone accomplished that? I can't get it working, evince opens in it's own window. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity, Chromium 16, evince 3.2.1, mozplugger 1.14.3-4 mozplugger config for pdfs is:

repeat noisy needs_xembed swallow(evince) fill: evince -w "$file"

This works just fine in Gentoo with same chromium version but evince 2(gtk2) and gnome2.

Hello everyone,

Evince has stopped working today, when I click on a pdf file nothing happens, no error messages, no warnings, nothing. The same thing if I try to start Evince from the menu.

How can I debug this? Or send some more information?

Any alternatives to Evince worth noting?

Thank you.

I remember reading somewhere that since goal of evince is to act as a document viewer, it won't support highlighting. Am I right ?

are evince dev's going to support highlighting in future.

I'm using fedora (64 bit), but I guess this might be relevant here too. If not, I'd be happy if anyone could direct me the appropriate forum/bug reporting site.

I have a pdf file that I created, compiling a few figures that I made in MATLAB. When I open it in okular/adobe/xpdf it works fine, but when I open it with evince the computer gets stuck and forces me to restart.
