Re: Cannot print from Adobe Acrobat

["B. Alexander" <storm16@gmail.com>]

It has, and I have not seen any issues with pdfs. Then again, I rarely use pdf forms, and when I do, I end up using Xournal on my N810/N900. That allows me to overlay a scratchpad over the pdf on which I can type/write/draw (which means I can sign them as well), then export the whole thing to pdf.

On the desktop, I mainly read books, etc...Or more likely, convert them to epub. :)

Unless you need to access complex PDF files.  We had tried that as well
as KPDF is much lighter and faster but, it did not open some PDF and
lacked some features of Acrobat Reader that were important for some of
our clients.  I suppose the only way to see if it works better for you
is to try it.  Actually, if you are on Testing, I believe KPDF has been
superseded by Okular (I think that's the new KDE4 PDF reader) - John
