I can manage to do it because I know Evince fairly well and what it can and can't do and don't mind working around it - my clients were having total nervous breakdowns. Getting rid of Adobe's ghastly, bloated and tentacled reader was a major plus in moving to Ubuntu for me ;) However, my clients really really weren't coping. I now put Acroread onto Ubuntu Desktops where people need to deal with pdf forms. Hate it, but there it is. And, until I upgraded to 10.04 and BBC iPlayer didn't, I used to install Air (grumbling all the way) so I can run the iPlayer on my desktop. I'm really committed to Free Software but I'm not a hermit ;) By the way, is there something we could (collectively) do to hassle the BCC to sort out the iPlayer for Lucid (and Maverick - or is it fixed on Maverick? I haven't had time to install it yet). Paula </blockquote> The adobe air iplayer app works for me on Maverick, pretty sure I have it on a Lucid box too. Works on Maverick in 32 bit and in 64 bit.
