#EVINCE DOCUMENT VIEWER MAC PDF#
While Ubuntu users could easily Print-to-PDF (from a web page for example when encountering a receipt that says "print this for your records" when storing it on disk rather than printing it on paper) or generate PDFs from OOffice, Windows users had to purchase PDF generation software. I realize being able to annotate/comment PDFs may seem like a feature request that would be low in a very long list of feature requests however, in the bigger picture, I have read how a major goal for Canonical/Ubuntu Desktop is to surpass Apple and this is a feature Apple has.īefore, by including PDF generation both Ubuntu and OS X were more even in this feature area and both surpassed Windows.
Once have PDFs, need to be able to annotate them. Web pages can be printed to PDF using built-in print to PDF in CUPS. The case of Word docs annotation is met by OOffice. Student is comfortable with paper-less online reading but would like to be able to mark up text as one would a paper text book. University student, receives reading assignments in the form of PDF or Word docs posted to a wiki or URLs to public HTML or PDF sources.
#EVINCE DOCUMENT VIEWER MAC MAC OS X#
Mac OS X is US$129.00 and now includes this feature. Adobe Acrobat Standard is US$299.00 and is too much to pay for just this set of features and Acrobat Standard is not available for Ubuntu. PDF annotation/ commenting capabilities should be added to the desktop environment to match Apple. Note: A rectangle annotation added around an image in Preview is displayed properly in Evince. Installed acroread (from partner/commercial repo.). The text is "yellowed-out" (like blacked-out) rather than highlighted. Used Apple Preview on Mac OS X to highlight certain lines of text with a yellow highlight.Įvince has the yellow almost completely covering the text. PDF with highlighted text displays instead with the highlight covering over the text.
