Re: [orca-list] using evince



By the way, I discovered that my problem with evince is that it doesn't know who I am. Evince uses something called apparmor which has configuration settings for identifying the user running a program. My problems with evnice will probably go away once I can figure that out.

Right now, I'm pretty ticked off that there even is this extra layer to deal with. Linux developers need to learn to KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. There are just way too many different levels of verything in linux.

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.
