At least in the case of Evince, it is true that not every PDF feature is supported yet. However, I believe it would in Fedora's best interests to fix the issues in the Free (libre) alternatives so that using AcroReader would no longer be required, rather than let that proprietary application direct further progress. This sort of situation has happened previously. For example, when Fedora 13 was rawhide, there was a major update to the X.org/OpenGL stack that broke the Nvidia and ATi proprietary drivers. -- Peter Gordon (codergeek42) <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Who am I? :: http://thecodergeek.com/about-me
