Nuke it! 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 Cheers, Gene Heskett
