A hearty thanks to the group, and this thread in particular, for the

links to:

Fax Free

and

PDF Escape

They have proven to be exceedingly useful!

When our little 'pups' lack certain functionality it is
very reassuring to know that there are easily implemented
work-arounds.

What a GROUP!!

epdfview is crashing when I try to move to page 4 of a 56 page document.

I have not had any problems with large pdf documents previously (though I don't know if any of them were all of 56 pages).

Should I try FoxIt instead?

Just to mention that kpdf is here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=41115

It's heavy on dependencies but works good so if you don't mind installing 26+ MB pet to have good pdf reader try it.

Yes, try FoxitReader or MuPDF or the image viewer MU made that shows pdfs... or something else.
PDF is a truly weird and wonderful format - IME regardless of the viewer you use, if you deal with enough PDFs you will always find some pdfs which don't display or which crash the viewer, but work fine in another program.
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here
