Hi everyone:



I am using a Dell inspiron 1525 laptop using ubuntu 8.04. I want to know is if there is a pdf viewer for evolution. When I have an email that comes in that is a pdf I'd like to be able to view preview it without having to open it completely. Thank you.



Mark

I don't think that Evolution, the default mail client, can let you
preview PDFs, regardless of viewer.

As for you question about "it there a viewer", yes there are:
* Evince, the default PDF viewer in Gnome, I don't think it can be
used to view PDFs inline in email or browser
* Adobe Reader can be installed from the Medibuntu repository [1].
It can work as a plugin in Firefox (if you install the plugin
part), but AFAICT not in Evolution

Well, I haven't used Evolution in a while, and I don't even have it
installed, but I seem to recall reading something once about being able to
do it. Something like you set the application/pdf to "use viewer" and
treat it like postscript and use gv as the viewer.

As others have mentioned, currently there is no way to preview a PDF in
Evolution. You'll need to click on the attachment and use a viewer that
appears in the dropdown (currently Evince is the default - and is shown
as "Open in Document Viewer".

Hi NoOp:



Thank you for the link. Although it didn't contain the answer I was looking for, it did provide me some very helpful general info on Evolution. Thanks again!
