Yeah, sure. Which breaks a whole schload of stuff, and is
still at<br>
version 9, and is horribly written enough to bring my hexacore
system<br>
with 8 GB of RAM to its knees. No, thanks. It's less
resource<br>
intensive to boot Windows, sadly.<br>

Why would I yelp at the Evince developers to include a
"feature" that I<br>
don't want in the first place?<br>
<br>
PDF is supposed to be electronic paper -- and anyone who
breaks that<br>
expectation is a horrible, horrible person.<br>
<br>
JavaScript in PDF docs should be implemented in the same way
as for HTML<br>
documents: with the possibility to use the document without
it. Or,<br>
again, if they want JS, it should be on a Web site, which is
where the<br>
bloody PDF probably came from in the first place!<br>
