What about acroread in squeeze i386? The only reason here to maintain
a computer with squeeze is to provide a needed tool to scientists. Why
acroread acroread-mozilla acroread-plugins can't be found on
debian-multimedia i386 squeeze/testing? We have to run more expensive
and more energy demanding 64-bit machines with lenny to have such
packages. Curious about the reason why squeeze has no efficient pdf
reader.
thanks

Out of curiosity, what is particularly inefficient about Okular or
Evince?

I am running 386 acroread on a 686 squeeze box with the only problem
being the print option for Odd an Even pages works backwards.
I have not been able to use acroread on my 64bit box for months now.
Same goes for cups, OK on 386, none on 64 bit. Both running squeeze.

evince
xpdf
konqueror

Konqueror? I thought kpdf and Okular; I know for a fact that kpdf
embeds into Konqueror (I may be wrong, though).

what about acroread in squeeze i386?
vi lovers and minimalists should look into apvlv for yet another GTK
alternative:
http://code.google.com/p/apvlv/
And since we're talking about squeeze:

You're right, it is not present in squeeze multimedia repos, but i
think the sid version should work fine.
You can find it here:
