Don't laugh, I use GIMP. Not perfect by any means …
Hey, if it works for your application, use it! I tend to find Inkscape better on most non-weird PDFs. But Dhaval's example - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/citizen/CIT0002E-2.pdf - was definitely weird. Unless you use Adobe Reader or the other proprietary thing I found, it renders as: Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download. For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader. Windows is either a registered trademark or a trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Mac is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. Linux is the registered trademark of Linus Torvalds in the U.S. and other countries. So Gimp, Evince, Okular, mupdf, Inkscape, gv and all the others would only render the single page warning, and not the 8 expected page form. cheers, Stewart
