For the past several years, I've had to keep acroread installed on one |
2 |
of my desktop machines because I occasionally need to use the "print |
3 |
current view" feature to print a portion of a page of a PDF document |
4 |
(usually a section of a sechematic or a table out of a data sheet). |
5 |
Acroread is only available as a 32-bit binary and it required that |
6 |
_89_ packages be built with a 32-bit ABI use flag. [There are various |
7 |
other reasons to dislike acroread, but that's the one the really |
8 |
bugged me...] |

When I noticed that the latest versions of Qoppa's PDFStudio has added |
11 |
the "print current view" feature, I happily coughed up the $36 to |
12 |
upgrade. |

Emerge is now busy rebuilding those 89 packages without the 32-bit ABI |
15 |
use flags. |
