Run xchange viewer under linux?

Post by bluec »

I was originally want to ask the question about will there be any linux version of xchange viewer, but after I searched the forum I found that the answer is "no", this is really a sad message to me.

However, I still want to ask that is can the most recently version of xchange viewer run well under linux by wine? have anyone tried this? Thanks!

At last, I'm really really hoping that the development team could consider about migrate it to linux

For now we have no plans to moving to Linux.
But about Wine, you can check here:

I'd love to have Xchange on Linux.
I have abandoned linux as my desktop because I spend most of my timer reading pdfs and the display quality is worse than in windows. It could be X-windows, though!

Do you have any idea why pdf rendering quality is worse under linux in general?

Thanks

Hi,

Could it be the lack of device driver updates for your system - or possibly its worth trying different options under the PDF-XChange Viewer Edit menu -> Preferences settings of the Viewer for : Colour management and Rendering options.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards
