Title: XPDF
Post by: gene on September 29, 2004, 06:11:06 pm

I've been trying to use XPDF but it is the absolutly slowest PDF viewer ever. Not really usable as far as I can tell. The pdf viewer for Qtopia was sooooo nice. Is there anyway to get it going on Cacko? Thanks!

i tried OZ 3.3.5/3.3.6pre1/3.5.1, Cacko 1.21b, pdaXrom Katherin RC3,
i can tell by speed... X11 ROM is the slowest of all

from XMMS songs playback (like forward, backward ..selecting songs, scroll the list) to xpdf,   JustReader can't even read at all....i put just a normal .txt, dun read

We are aware of the speed problems - the next release will solve many of the general problems with speed..

yeah, I'm back :-)  (first post, reverse time order read) ..

ya, I took 1.0.1 w/ xpdf on my trip and lots of pdfs to read, but the
fonts were all blocky and I could only see 1/2 the page (left/right/left/right)
when I made the font large enough to read.  :-<

just reader just says missing file and aborts.

I have a todo list of things to get working in 1.1.0 release (I see rc5 went
out while I was away) ... and one of those is a decent/working xpdf!

The speed wasn't too bad... slow on load, but otherwise ok.  But the fonts
made it unreadable/unusable.
