I continue in my search for lightweight applications for Xfce or at least they do not depend on Gnome and its bookstores.
ePDF View it's a lightweight document viewer PDF which includes the basic options that this type of application needs. It may not be as efficient as Evincebut he knows how to do his job.
To install it on Debian we open a terminal and put:
$ sudo aptitude install epdfview
En Archlinux:
$ sudo pacman -S epdfview
When I installed Debian testing with XFCE, epdfview comes installed by default, it works great.
I did not know that. You mean the Debian Xfce iso right?
Exactly.
What happened, did you go back to Debian because of the AUR problems?
It is that our ISP does not allow us to use the AUR ... it is not that the AUR have problems or are bad, but that we simply cannot use them 🙁
And how do you manage without AUR, don't you need any packages from there?
Nope ... 😀
If I need an application that is not in the official Arch repos, under the .tar.gz and compile it myself, but for now it has only been one or two silly applications that I have needed 😉
Exact. And because Debian calls me .. it attracts me .. it is like the force of gravity ..
Be careful with so much force and so much gravity do not end up stamped against something LOL !!!
I used it in Mandriva 2011 LXDE, and it worked very well, light and with just enough to read pdf. Very good, really.
LibreOffices or OpenOffices which one do you recommend?…. taking into account its compatibility with .docx because I have all my documents in offices 2010 and it is in my work that I am using LMDE
At the moment OpenOffice is slowed down until the Apache Foundation begins to get its hands on the code, therefore it would be better to use LibreOffice, but ... in general the support for Microsoft documents is still bad, you can read them but sometimes the documents have errors in the format, and if you try to save a document in docx directly it crashes and you end up losing your work. If you save it as doc it doesn't crash but it doesn't keep the format either: s
My understanding is that Calligra recently added good docx support, I haven't tried it yet, but it's still in beta.
And if not last, it passes all your documents from docx to odt, it is an extra work but at least you will not have more problems, and also if I am not mistaken the latest versions of microsoft office support OASIS formats so it should not have compatibility issues.
Hi. I use LibreOffice but I have to work with .doc documents with other people. I would like to know if you can help me. People who have Office 2007 installed, what should they install or configure so that they can open the .odt and edit it without any problem?
Well, the immediate solution would be for them to install LibreOffice on Windows. I don't know if there is any tool to open .odt in MS Office.
Thanks for your reply, Elav, as always. Well, you see, I am writing my thesis document and I want my readers to read it in a shared folder in Dropbox. They would make annotations that are shown in the margins. I had not thought about asking them to install LibreOffice, it seems like a good idea, although I do not know how these notes are made. Thank you.
there is any tool in win. to convert the .docx to odt in bulk….?
KZKG ^ Gaara, you can't use the repository [archlinuxfr] either, there for example is an application that elav is interested in Marlin.
Apparently we can ... pass me the link hehehe
Let's see if I can elav use Arch again JUAS JUAS JUAS !!!!
Hahahaha, let's not go .. !!!
So there is something more than AUR? Hahaha.
I give you the repository and you try to convince elav, if you can hahahahaha
[archlinuxfr]
# The French Arch Linux communities packages.
server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch
And this link is from all the repos:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_User_Repositories
Good luck, you will miss a lot ...
It will not convince me ¬¬
The good son always comes home, hahahahaha.
I did not know that repo, it has some good programs ... but unfortunately it is a small thing LOL
Hello, I would like to make an inquiry
As a light pdf viewer we have ePDFView, as a light word processor we have Abiword, but does anyone know any slide viewer / editor (unfortunately better known by uindous as power points)?
Thank you very much in advance!
It's good. I use it often.
How do I make my archlinux open by default the pdf with ePDFView, because when I open it, it opens with GIMP. thanks.
If you right-click and properties on a PDF document, you don't see an option to indicate with which program you want to always open those files?
Thanks works excellent on arch
