pdf viewers and printers
 

I used Okular (in KDE) until now, because i can't print chosen files from pdf file that has over 10 000 pages and that's annoying. I was able to do this in Adobe reader, so it's not a printer problem. I would like you to help me with choice of pdf viewer that would be opensourced and free as i hate closedsourced programmes and i have to print some pdfs from time to time. Anyone knows any good pdf viewer that would be able to print pages well?

I'm trying to imagine a pdf with 10,000 pages!
In my experience, if you go much over 300 megs in a pdf, Adobe reader slows the box to a crawl. Admittedly that was windows. The real alternatives are xpdf, Gv, and many editors and viewers. gs itself is also a pdf & printer handler.

I would start with 'ls /usr/bin/*pdf*' and investigate what you find. I have pdfdetach, for instance, from xpdf, which unembeds embedded files. Even 'lp -P n' under cups can take a page number n Mind you, page numbering rarely lines up with pages in a pdf.

Yes it's quite big file. It includes scores to most classical pieces from 18th century till now that's why it's so big. And yes, Adobe reader is very slow with that (file is about 700MB).
Gv wasn't even able to open this file but Evince opened and printed it fine so I'll stay with this one.

Is that big file online anywhere?
