okular 1 – adobe reader 0

At OSS 2009 last week, I attended the IFIP 2.13 WG business meeting.

During the presentations, made on Windows XP PCs of the venue (yeah, it’s always like that in conferences on OSS, where hardware runs only proprietary software… who knows why), one presentation of a PDF file couldn’t be completed : Adobe reader displayed some strange memory-related error.

Adobe reader FAIL !

But fortunately, the organizers were able to instantly launch Okular (from KDE), which was able to complete the slideshow (still with some glitches on some of the contained images) on the broken PDF.

So, even on Windows; KDE wins ! 😉 Install it if you want to test.

P.S.: Hi Paul, you see, I’m saying nice things about KDE 😉
