Reading PDF Files

[mothermapper]

I am trying to read the monthly MagPi magazines on the Raspberry Pi. I have tried “2012-08-16-wheezy-raspbian.img” and “2012-09-18-wheezy-raspbian.img” both of which have MuPDF with no success. I have copied the PDF files from another server (Windows) and also downloaded them directly from the internet to the desktop using the Raspberry’s web browser. While watching task manager, I see MuPDF start but then it goes away without ever opening the PDF document. I have tried other PDF files and none will open. Can someone help?

I've been able to read these on the Pi using the application evince.

To install it, simply run the following in the terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install evince

You should then be able to find evince under the menus, or you can launch it from a terminal with the path to the PDF files.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks! I can finally read the MagPi on my Pi. On to the next step.

This worked out very well and now I can read PDF files on the RPI. Thank you very much for the clear and simple instructions.
