Evince http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/ is certainly quicker to 
load them Acrobat, and can show other formats as well as .pdf, but its 
advanced features are lacking. That said, I tend to use Evince for most 
day to day work that I do.

Has anyone been successful with these printing features, with this or any other pdf viewer? I want to print pages of a mobile phone instruction book which I have downloaded. It has very small pages and scaling up would help.
