And just one of the reasons I baled to TDE. :)

And what do you call your equivalent to kbuildsycoca4?

But if you want a clean printout, okular is king. Telling evince to fit 
to page runs stuff off the top and bottom of the page, on a printer that 
claims to be borderless, but is perfect as a viewer. I haven't used kpdf 
enough to reach a conclusion on that point, but clicking on links within 
a document that point to another section of that same document does not 
work, so I wind up using okular or evince again, where IIRC it does, I 
think, thinker needs more caffeine this time of the morning as it just 
short of 5 am here.

So to get this straight in my ancient head, which of the 3 is the TDE 
preferred pdf utility?


In the list of pdf viewer/printers possible
