Several things:
- printing .pdf documents the "official" way (other tools do not
always do it quite right)
- correct rendering of some .pdf documents with font issues
- quick rendering of "difficult" files, such as those containing large
graphs (poppler-based tools such as evince can quickly become slow
even on good hardware)
- assure that the .pdf document you are sending will be readable by
acroread users on any platform (i've had issues in the past with
pdfedit creating .pdf documents that are readily opened by open-source
tools, but are corrupted and un-readable by acroread)
Would anyone know how to get around the issue reported originally, or
perhaps suggest how to correctly install acroread on my recent Debian
testing?
