Re: [orca-list] Evince

Hi, Steve,

I've used Adobe's acroread with Orca.  It allows me to read documents, but a 
lot of internal stuff, like bookmarks, don't work.  For more information, go 
here:

If you want to stick with Evince and flat review, you might try pressing 
keypad-minus after pressing the page down key. Theoretically, this routes 
flat review to the current cursor position.  However, in testing flat review 
for Thunderbird, I found that this will refresh the flat review buffer when 
the page down or page up key fail to cause the buffer to be refreshed.

Good luck,

dave
