Title: Decent Pdf Viewer For Cacko
Post by: omro on June 21, 2006, 02:09:32 pm

Hi

I tried to install the

qpdf2_render-freetype-2.3.0-070505a-1_arm.ipk

from the Cacko ROM Feed.

It seems to install without errors from the command

Code: [Select]

su
ipkg install qpdf2_render-freetype-2.3.0-070505a-1_arm.ipk
The icon appears, but when you click on it, the hour glass appears for a few moments and then nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks, can't see that in the cacko feed, unless it's this one libfreetype_6.3.4-1_arm.ipk If it's not this, is it somewhere else?

Yes, I think that is the one ... libfreetype_6.3.4-1_arm.ipk ... my qpdf works and I also have that libfreetype_6.3.4-1_arm.ipk installed ...

Great :-)

That works, but now when I open a pdf I get the following error, did you get this?

Code: [Select]

Qpdf was unable to save your notes. "No such file or directory"

Is qpdf the only pdf viewer that works in cacko?

StreamlineCPUs has Picsel Browser for Zaurus, but it only works when the Picsel SD (Secure Digital Card), is inserted. (512MB)
It won't work if copied to a larger SD card, like a 2GB or 4GB. You must always use the original SD card.
Also, it costs about $190.00 with shipping.
It renders PDFs really well, but starts following pages at same location as a previous page.
If you go from the bottom of page 2, to page 3, it will be at the bottom of page 3.
An old review on Picsel:
