[Bug 886468] Re: Problem to read PDF

 

Well, you do not need to reinstall a complete OS just because a single
program is not working. Maybe try to reinstall Document Viewer.  If the
problem persists, we'll look at it.

You in the description mentioned that you can't use your touchpad to
scroll through pages so you use mouse. Does it work with the mouse?

Until the issue is resolved you can try other PDF readers available in
the Software Center. Also Google Chrome does a nice job as a PDF reader
though you might miss some features.

  Problem to read PDF

Bug description:
  Hi !

  I've got a problem with Document viewer 3.2.1.

  Indeed, i can't scroll the pages of PDF files with the touch pad. It's not fluid at all and i have to use a mouse.
  It doesn't work with Unity and Gnome-Shell interfaces.
  Note that it's not a touch pad problem because it works good with my other, OS Windows 7.

  Ubuntu 11.10
  Kernel 3.0.0.12
  Version : X86_64

  PC : 
  Asus X5DIE

  PS : Sorry for my bad english but i'm french.

  Thanks for all.

  Pierre.
