Actually, I am reading the documentation for LinuxCNC, which is ATM 799 
pages but will gain 30 or before too long because a new qt5 based 
interface is being written. okular/evince are about equal in reading, 
but evince can muck things up while printing if you check the fit to 
page option.  Last time I tried kpdf, it bombed out. But that was before 
this wheezy install, and its not installed now. xpdf is there but has no 
file open dialog so what good is that. and I tried libreoffice a few 
weeks back and it chocked and died on a much smaller pdf. I don't have 
openoffice. I just ran libreoffice6.1 which failed on that pdf, and I'll 
have to use a root session of htop to get rid of it, won't quit.  I'll 
install kpdf and see what sort of a mop I need. :-)
