[gentoo-user] acroread woes

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Howdy,

I have acroread 9.5.5 installed. It is set as the default pdf
reader for both seamoney and firefox. I mostly use seamonkey, because
it allows for page/font sizing on the fly, via the mouse wheel (middle
button on my logitech mouse).  I'd use firefox more, if I could figure
out dynamic font size adjustments, via the mouse wheel under firebox.
Maybe an addon does this? Scrolling fonts sizes is quinessentially important
to old eyes, imho.

On seamonkey, when I follow a web link to a pdf, I just get a black page on
my browser. Under firefox, I get the pdf to open up to be read,
but can only print postscript files, unless I go to the 
adobe web site; which is not an option for me.

I'm looking for a long term solution that easily allows both
viewing and download of the pdf file; that's how acroread use
to work.  Googling yeilds a myriad of choices and viewpoints, but
I've not found any solutions I'm happy with.

I'm running simple LXDE (soon to be lxqt5 now, so I do not want a hugely
bloated collection of applications, just a simple viewer/download capability
of pdf files.

I also run "noscript" on my browsers now (very cool!). I do not consider it
a problem, when I have to click a button or 2 to allow something
that noscript has identified and filtered as a possilbe point
of caution. I like noscript and have little desire to permanently
disable it, so suggestions must work reasonable well with noscript too.

I've tried MuPDF, but it is a bit spartan and does not (at least
from what I've experienced) allow for simple downloading of the pdf.

Guidance, discussion and suggestions are most welcome!
Maybe another browser will make me happy?
