Problems to view the PDF files

balubeto · 05-01-2014, 02:34 PM

Hi

I downloaded Calibre from the Lubuntu 13:10 repository.

I have problems to view the PDF files because they are not page layouts correctly. How come?

Thanks

Bye

You must have selected under Preferences ==> Behavior to use the calibre internal viewer for PDF. Uncheck that option.

By default calibre passes PDF on to the system PDF viewer, which should work much better.

Also, Kovid recommends against using the distro version of calibre, which is usually going to be out of date. calibre is updated weekly. L/X/Ed/Ubuntu 13.10 has version 1.0.0, we are now 34 weeks and 34 versions full of bugfixes and several major new features past that. Download the latest version here: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

Everyone makes this mistake their first time with linux.
