Does epdfview work OK? I don't imagine zathura will be much heavier. Yes, epdfview works alright... every now and then my laptop freezes just as I've pressed the down arrow, and it scrolls all the way to the end of the document, but I just kill it via Ctrl+Alt+Esc and reopen it on the page I was on...

I noticed that these work for Puppy 3.xxx and 4.xxx, but what about 5.xxx?

I'm asking, 'cos I'm on Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 (LuPu 511).

@don570: I'm pretty happy with the fact that I finally got LuPu 511 installed (Frugal, but that's okay too) on this machine, since I struggled so much to get any flavour of Linux onto it, that I'm gonna stick with what I've got unless it gives me trouble... Yes, I am a n00b on Linux, which is why th...

Ooh... good idea, aarf. Which is your favorite PDF reader? I'm okay with the one that came on the LiveCD ISO I downloaded, but I would have liked the option of changing the text- and background-colours, like I can do with Adobe Reader. Is there a version of Adobe (something similar) for Linux? Edit:...

I'm assuming so... but I don't know any programming languages, so I don't know which one would be able to grab that info. What I want to do is make an icon that you only need to click on once, which brings up an instance of the pdf-reader with the book you were reading open at the page you closed it...

Bookmark app for pdf reader.

I've only noticed now that I've apparently got to post a link to my request here, so this is the link. Did I do it right?

I want to request a bookmark app for PDF reader.

What programming language would work best to open Xpdf on the page I last read in the PDF I open through the bookmark icon on my desktop? I don't have the icon yet either and I want to either fill in a textbox to say what page I'm on and click the ok button to save, or have it save automatically... ...

@ alienjeff: Thanks for the link to mtpaint's man pages... that'll go down a storm for those who really need it. (Like I said, I don't want to overtax my old laptop with only 16megs of RAM, so I'm using Photoshop on my dualcore machine) @ harii4: I didn't put that as the title because I wasn't reall...

Thanks, Béèm. That info is quite helpful. If you want to edit your screenshot so it blurs out the info that's not needed by the people helping you (or you plan on putting it in an online photo album site and wish to have the details you don't want shared blacked out, etc...), how would you do it on ...

Using mtPaint to crop/shrink screenshots

I don't know how I went off topic, but the thread had been solved for a while (By page 2 of 4 @ 15 posts per page, actually), so I thought I'd send a message to an admin or something to get that thread locked... Now, where were we in the conversation... Ah, yes... cropping screenshots of your proble...

Unless it gets locked, that is... We could always start another thread in the general talk section, and link back to this so the conversation can continue... I think I'll do that, then edit this one to link to it... I'll be back in a mo. Edit. Click here to continue, I'll PM a mod to get this thread...

When (If, more like) I take a screenshot, I upload it to my photobucket account, and post a link to it.

Thanks, Béèm. I just checked the PM reply from John, and he said he'll be checking into that as well (At least, I think he is... that part of the message wasn't all too clear...) As for what he said about doing tables, there is the screenshot option (Which you can't cut and paste from) and the forma...

I figured out why the html is still off in my posts when the setting says it's on. I haven't been on this forum long enough to warrant the trust that's required for html just yet. Once the admins of the forum see whether I can be trusted with html or not, they'll activate it if I'm worthy... no rush...

No, I didn't... but my html is set to off, so it wouldn't help even if I knew how to do tables in html. (I used to know, but I've forgotten so much of it...)

As for telling John Murga via PM, I'll do just that. thanks.

Maybe tables? Now, how did I do it in the other forums again?

Table 1:

[table][tr][td]Testing[/td][td]Testing[/td][/tr][tr][td]123[/td][td]123[/td][/tr][/table]

Nope... I guess not.

How do I suggest this BBcode to be added in the next major version?
