Pdf Viewer

[NickLoTurco]

Same with me sparky....I'd like to have readme's for all of these apps as I don't know what the hell I'm doing!

great thanks for this. umm how do I install it - when I view the file on the Pandora, it offers me no choice of anything to open it with

Open a terminal, cd into the directory you downloaded it, and type

sudo opkg install epdfview_0.1.6-r3.1_armv7a.ipk

This will install epdfview onto the NAND. I'm still highly recommending against this. Give a bit more time for someone to package up some PND file or something.

Go to the Angstrom Repository and search for libpoppler-glib3, and download the appropriate library. Install that first. If there are any other libs that come up, you'll need to get those, too.

You may be able to get it to download them all automatically, if the Angstrom repo is still setup. I would hope that it isn't, but wouldn't be surprised if it was.
To get opkg to download everything you need automatically, you need to be connected to the internet, and type

sudo opkg install epdfview

If the default repo file still exists untouched, it'll automatically go to the Angstrom repository and download the file and all its dependencies. Be warned that you might fill up the NAND by doing this.

EvilDragon is rumoured to be creating a PND file of Evince, so you'll be able to use that to open PDFs soon.

I've still got no further with this - fail and fail. Could somebody chuck this or another PDF viewer into a PND pleeeeese before I go insane

first do
# sudo opkg update
then do the install.

It is likely epfviewer or evince will become available in hotfix very soon, stay tuned
