Hi all, Does anybody know of an editor that can do on Linux what Acrobat / Acrobat Pro can do on Mac/Windows? I have tried to use the PDF Import extension to the Open Office which appears barely functional - at least it is so slow as to be almost impractical. I have also tried pdfedit under Linux which seems to work fine but seems to have rather limited functionality. For instance, the capability

Dear All, Consider the following piece of code: pdf(file="figure.pdf", family="Palatino") plot(0,0,type='n', xlim=c(-20,20), ylim=c(0,2),xlab="",ylab="",axes=F) text(-1.4,1.168,expression(italic("The font looks different when this is seen with Acrobat Reader!")),xpd=T) dev.off() When viewing the produced figure.pdf with kpdf (on Linux),

When opening a .pdf file with the Acrobat Reader X from a WinXP SP3 client (maschine is member of the domain) the Acrobat Reader X shows a "permission denied". We see the following in the samba

Hi- I''d like to load a PDF file into a page, in my controller: send_file "/path to/my.pdf", :disposition => "inline" However, instead of rendering inline, it asks to download the file.

Hi, If I include a javascript library, will it load when the html load, or just at the first use? I have table.js and I have few pages that needs it. Should I include it just on the pages that needs it, or put it on the application_layout? Thanks, Kfir

A professor here at Vanderbilt sent me the following code. Each of the text strings should right justify against the center vertical bar, but because of font issues it doesn't. I understand that there are workarounds, but I was just curious if this was consistent across all platforms. On linux with R 2.7.1 and R-trunk (r46103), both acrobat reader 8 and kpdf render it incorrectly. How

Hi, This is my first post here. I'm trying to create PDF files from other applications running in Wine 0.9.56. I've installed Autosketch Release 5 and Adobe Acrobat Writer V4.0 in Wine (in that order).
