Re: [orca-list] Reading PDF files with Orca

[Christian Schoepplein <chris schoeppi net>]

Hi,


Crome or Firefox can display PDFs, yes, but the format is totaly 
disrupted, at least in my case and on my system (Debian Bullseye with 
backports enabled). That is no solution I can work at my job, also 
converting PDFs to text is no serious solution :-(.


I've also installed evince and tried to read a very simple PDF, also no 
success, no content is shown :-(. What else do I have todo when opening 
a PDF with evince to get the content displayed?


PDF is one of the very less show stoppers for using Linux only. I do not 
need my Windows VM very ofthen, but reading PDFs is one of those very 
rare reasons, unfortunatly :-(.


Cheers and thanks,


  Schoepp
