I want to see how it works on mathy latexed pdf documents. I've yet to experience an online reader that handles that robustly.

- pytxab 17y agoCheck it out on this baby: http://www.scribd.com/documents/5/Paper-5 http://www.scribd.com/documents/5/Paper-5 That's a LaTeX paper by one of the guys who built the reader.
- earl 17y agoHoly shit that's awesome. I've longed for the day that latex2html dies a well deserved death and there aren't ugly little rasterized images where every mathematical symbol goes.
- gtt 17y agoin my browser (ff 3.5.9) fonts are very small $(
- matthiaskramm 17y agodoes fullscreen help? what's your screen resolution?
- mikexstudios 17y agoTry clicking the 'zoom in' button in the bottom bar.
- shawndrost 17y agoIt should probably be zoomed in more by default. (2 clicks more seemed right to me -- safari on a 13' macbook)
- jm4 17y agoIt looks great in Firefox, but it's completely unusable in the latest Opera.
- andreyf 17y ago- when I change zoom mid-document, scroll to the same position in the text I was before - modify default zoom level depending on the browser window size (I had to zoom twice before the size was reasonable) - put the document-action keys on the top (the bottom is for statuses). It took me long enough to realize the bottom pane was where things were that I would have left if this were a paper I came across on HN/prog.reddit - don't force registration to download, that's just rude
- DanielRibeiro 17y agoReally amazing work. However, when the scrolling to the images at the end of the paper, it kinda slows down my Firefox 3.6. Chrome 5.0.369.0 shows it smothly though (all on ubuntu 9.04)
- robryan 17y agoYeah can second this, managed to hang the browser after zooming in then trying to scroll on the latex based paper in FF 3.6, was a little slow, also in full screen seems to slightly hang at the page boundary.
- hazzen 17y agoMy Nexus One seems to be missing a number of symbols because I saw a few square boxes. Otherwise an amazing achievement - a very usable mobile PDF viewer. Anyone on an iPad/iPhone/Pre able to see every symbol on that paper?
- jackowayed 17y agoThere's some text issues (text on top of other text) on my iPhone on the normal text fine. The forumlas look great. It's pretty slow to render on my 2G (definitely rendering because I'm on wifi), but it is pretty underpowered and obsolete.
- enjo 17y agoFont rendering issues on my HTC incredible. The navigation bar doesn't work either, it just hangs out all the way on the bottom of the screen.
- qhoxie 17y agoIf you get the chance, would you mind adding info about the issue you are having to this Google form? https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dF9URVpxVEZfaElQcGtBTmxOVXpFYVE6MQ https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dF9URVpxVEZ... We are doing our best to document all of these and get fixes out as soon as possible.
- carterschonwald 17y agoyou have just transformed my opinion of scribd's utility from negative to positive. kudos.
- carterschonwald 17y agoand by positive I mean awesome :-) the rendering is beautifully done
- teye 17y agoNice at initial size, but zooming jumbles the words in the latest Chrome Mac.
- natep 17y agoLooks really nice. I zoomed in so I could read it, and then scrolled, noticed the nifty scroll meter at the bottom, and then it caused FF 3.6.3 to hang for quite a while (Win XP).
- subbu 17y agoThat's very impressive. Any idea how these guys achieved the rendering of all those math symbols so flawlessly?
