If evince is the real source of the > paging problem this should make it apparent in a day or two. i was not aware that evince has this capability now: I was used to using ctrl-r to reload the changed document. (this also works on epdfview). another alternative is xpdf whose biggest plus is that it does not use keys such as ctrl in the keybindings. however, it has some missing features such as the ability to customize printing, etc. i wish someone would take over epdfview from emma-soft and speed up its glacial pace of development. thanks, ranjan > > Hope this helps!
