Check my previous reply to you, I'm not quite sure if we are comparing apples to apples, perhaps my qt isn't up to yours.<br>

Anything will do for a reader I suppose but yesterday I was revising a flyer, checking to see if the edits were in the revised pdf and then checking the print preview before printing. Kpdf seemed to produce a better facsimili of a pdf both as a reader then as a print preview so I can live without it but I have not figured out why it is asking me what filter to use. It don't know and neither do I.<br>

I'm not sure it is a bug maybe a limitation (no Fud intended Anne) but I have found the problem.<br>
