User help document

Post by NinV »

Hi,

I added a guide to the help, modifying the configuration, but when I open the new pdf-document it is opened by Gimp and not by a pdf reader (evince or acroread).

Do you know why?
I'm using Ubuntu.

Thank you very much,
Nino

Do all your PDF files open with the Gimp or just ones made in Latex? If all of them, you should check your settings for what application opens PDF files in Ubuntu (don't ask me how to do that - I'm not an Ubuntu expert at all!). If only the ones made with Latex, how are you opening the file? Is it via a Latex editor? Which editor are you using? You should check the settings in that to see what application is launched to open your PDF file.

Does any of that help?

Hi, Pandammonium

Sorry: I didn't mention the editor I use, because of the subject of this subsection, i.e. Kile.

My PDF are usually opened by Acroread and I set Kile so that the command ViewPDF and all the others relaying on it open PDF by Evince. But the my guide is opened by GIMP!

Bye,

Oh. :oops:

Hmm, weird. And it's only that one file that's being opened by the Gimp? You have actually tried opening PDFs created in other Kile projects and they open ok in Evince? And it's definitely a PDF file you're creating? Well, I have to admit that I'm stumped! I'm sorry I can't be of any real help, other than to suggest double-checking all the settings. If you look at all the other settings, like PSView and everything, are any of those set to use the Gimp? What happens if you start Evince and open your PDF file from there?

Normally if I click on the Guide from, eg, Nautilus it is opened by Acroread like all other pdf, and all settings of Kile are OK with Evince :x

Thanks for trying to help me!
