Hi Darrell,
to open PDF, I learned a simple trick: If I don't
mind opening the file as
embedded, I will use the left button. If I want PDF open in a separate
KPDF application, I use the middle button that opens in a new window by
default. In this case, the new window is a separate KPDF, not Konqueror.
The same is applied also to other file types - for example pictures - left
button opens embedded, middle button opens separate Kuickshow window.
I just tried looking at a PDF in konquerer. On my system, the text is not
sub-pixel rendered (SPR) like it is in firefox (and probably chrome) or in
the ancient Adobe acroread program I still have on my system.
Anyone care to chime in and tell me whether their version of konquerer does
sub-pixel rendering?
(If you don't know what I am talking about with SPR, bring up a PDF
document, and then using a program like xmag to zoom in on some of the
text, and see if vertical strokes are have coloured edges.)
Thanks.
Jim
