Re: Looking for a PDF reader

[Heikki Vatiainen <hessu@cs.tut.fi>]

Hi,

There are several PDF readers available. I have Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10, 
xpdf 0.7a and acroread (Adobe Acrobat Reader) 3.01 installed. They are all 
available as Debian packages in non-free/text section at the Debian mirror 
sites.

If you try to view an encrypted PDF file with Ghostscript (using gv or 
ghostview as a front end) and get an error message, see 
http://www.ozemail.com.au/%7Egeoffk/pdfencrypt/.

>From there you can download a file called pdf_sec.ps which makes reading 
encrypted PDF files possible. The link above has the instructions what you 
should do with the pdf_sec.ps file.

Note: Acrobat Reader does not work with 24bps color. However, you can always 
use it as a command line tool with something like 'acroread -toPostScript 
file.pdf'. Try running it with 'acroread -help' if you'd like to learn more.
