Thanks. I'm definitely considering the 4.2 series Pup and that's a further reason to upgrade.

Well I'm in 4.2 now and it still keeps crashing. Maybe I need to upgrade Gtk2 as well?

Hi ttuuxxx,

I just discovered that the "Fit Width" Page Scaling print-option in Foxit Reader doesn't seem to work on documents that are wider than the paper-size I am printing to. I have successfully printed the centre section of a number of wider-than-A4 documents onto A4 paper!


Once I figured out what was happening I clicked on the adjacent down-arrow, then manually set the width to 70% in the list that came up. The document printed onto A4 fine then, but if you haven't already submitted your comments to the devs you might like to mention it :-)

It's no big deal, as I rarely come across a PDF that's larger than A4, and I always print just the first page of anything to check it prints OK, so I only lose one sheet of paper each time, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Of course, it's perfectly possible that I've misunderstood what "Fit Width" means. If it means "Fit the document to the Width of the original" then I plead guilty and nothing is wrong. However, I do vaguely recall that when I used Foxit Reader in MS Windows 98 last year, it didn't seem to behave in this way. Unfortunately I can't check anything at all in MS Windows these days :-)

Regards,

MrToad

Foxit Reader fixed for puppy and now Chinese/Japanese/korean

The program worked fine for me under the following system:

PIII 550 mhz / 384 MB Ram, Puppy 4.0, Nvidia MX-420 graphics.

I did think that the WIN32 version of Foxit ran a little faster under WINE, though.

Running Puppy 4.20

I downloaded FoxitReader1.0-1.pet. Fortunately, I found it on this forum and had read the comments before installing, and I learned from Mr. Toads experience, except my setup uses Xvesa not Xorg.

Mr. Toad wrote
"Just in case anyone else finds Foxit vanishes after trying to load a file... I changed my Xorg colour depth from 16 bits to 24 bits and everything was then fine."

With 16 bits mode, running the program in the terminal rendered a similar message as Mr. Toad 's computer.

# /usr/share/Foxit/FoxitReader

(è×tReader:4604): Gdk-WARNING **: The gdk_draw_*_image require the drawable argument to
have a specified colormap. All windows have a colormap,
however, pixmaps only have colormap by default if they
were created with a non-NULL window argument. Otherwise
a colormap must be set on them with gdk_drawable_set_colormap

(è×tReader:4604): Gdk-WARNING **: Attempt to draw a drawable with depth 24 to a drawable with depth 16

Gdk-ERROR **: The program '\xe8\xd7a\u0008tReader' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 3034 error_code 8 request_code 70 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...
Aborted

The computer has no problem running 24 bits color. My question is has a fix been made for this bug?

Just downloaded, installed and tested your Foxit Reader .pet package, seems to work like a charm with Lupu 5.11: opened an 800-plus page PDF in a second and printed two pages of it with no fuss at all.

Real cool, thanks again Ttuuxxx (millionth time).
