PDF reader needed
Hi, I'm using RedHat 4 EL and its default PDF reader sucks. I can't search for words in the document, nor can I navigate from one page to the next without having to click the "Next page" button on the toolbar and that's such a nuisance. Can anyone suggest a better one and where I can get it? Thank you.

It would help if you told us which program you were using, but some to try are Adobe Reader, KPDF and Evince.

Get the genuine Adobe viewer. It's one case where the open source alternatives just don't have all the facilities.

I used to use kpdf. It's sucessor, okular in kde4 is pretty good as well.
I am not a kde user by the way (before you say you are not using kde).
