Re: [orca-list] using evince



Using the laptop keyboard mode, I use Orca+; (That's holding down the Orca key while hitting the semicolon.) to read from the current position to the end of the document.

Hello,

When document is in focus and you have enabled caret browsing you can
start say all by pressing numpad plus on a desktop layout to start say all.
I think you can press the key left to number 1 in the upper row of keys
to do the same in laptop layout however I might be wrong on this.

The reality is that most of the documents are working fine and these are
perfectly readable in evince when caret browsing is turned on there are
loads of documents where pressing down arrow key jumps to the end of a
document thus the only way on reading these documents is by reading by
letter or by word. Say all is not very usefull in these cases either.
I don't know what is causing this, it has already been briefly discussed
here however no cause and solution has been found as of yet.
I think it's mixture of evince accessibility support and PDF authoring.

Is there any way to pull up an entire document such that it'd read
nicely in continuous read?

Hello,

When Evince comes up with no document loaded recent document might or
might not show up depending if you have opened some documents before.
You can open a document by tabbing to Open button. Standard File
chooser dialog appears where you can browse your folders and files
and you can open the document which you wish.
When the document opens it's displayed on the screen. You can press
F7 to toggle caret browsing mode. Evince will display an alert with
Allow and Cancel buttons on the F7 press.
If you have enabled caret browsing you can now browse the document
using your arrow keys. You can tab or shift+tab into list of icons
representing pages in a documents. You can switch pages by using your
arrow keys.
Evince has a few more options. You can see these options in the
sidebar. If the sidebar is not showing you can toggle its visibility
by pressing F9 key.
On the sidebar you can see some toggle buttons such as Find, anotate
a document, View options, File options, Thumbnails, Annotations or
Bookmarks. Each of those shows up a menu after the spacebar press
where you can see more options. For example Print is in the File
options menu.

I think that's it regarding Evince usage.

All,

My end users say that they do not have a print button in evince. But
I can't figure out how to use evince at all.  I am guessing the
instructions on the gnome wiki are outdated.
