What's wrong with KPDF? - I just tried (in feisty) to print a 3 panel brochure
that I have designed (using Scribus).
Guess what? First, for some reason KPDF can't or won't print 'Landscape' :-(
Second, it can't handle transparencies - I get a black square behind the object :-(
I did install Acroread and it didn't blink an eye - printed it great :-(
Perhaps I should file a bug about the 'Landscape' thing - maybe even the
transparency issue as well.
Just thought I'd let you know.........
Blessings - really :-)
