Description Salazar 2008-03-16 14:08:05 UTC
Version:           0.6.1 (using 4.0.1 (KDE 4.0.x >=20080201) "release 14.3", compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.17-0.1-bigsmp

First thing is, that there is no keyboard shortcut for turning the pages in PDF files. You have to click buttons with the mouse. Fortunately its possible to configure it by yourself (e.g. <left> for next page, <right> for prev page). If you press <Pgup/down> or <space> you will only see the next "screen", but the page joints are moving with each page and it's hard browse a large document very fast.

Next thing is, that even if you have assigned the keys or feel ok with the descibed behave, Okular turns the PDF pages so fast, that they will not be displayed anymore until you stop pressing the key. I would prefer to see the whole content of the pages, even if the browsing would be slower than. Because I usually want to get an overview. If I know the page I want to go, I can type in the number I want.

Anyway, thanks for the great work

Why should that be a bug? If you keep then next page shortcut pressed, it just follow what -you- want, that is going ahead fast.
Even acroread just shows a page in a while: with a 300+ pages document and keeping the next page shortcut pressed from page 1 up to the end, it displayed just 3 pages, and the other ones not even the frame.

Yes, you're right, also acroread shows not each single page if you 
scroll through the PDF fast. But in acroread you'll never see blank 
pages. Compared with this, Okular shows only the page frames, but is not 
able to display the page content so fast. So you will see only the first 
(maybe the second) and the last page of your 300+ pages document. The 
pages inbetween will only be displayed as empty frames.

Now I remembered ... the Windows Version of Adobe Acrobat is showing each single page by going ahead fast.

In my job I often work with large PDF files and it's such a helpful thing if you can browse quickly for getting an overview.
