They've closed this beta release program, by the way. I hope v. 7
looks better than v. 5 did.

The only thing that's really missing from kpdf, ggv and gpdf that I
would use is a text selection tool. xpdf can do this, but its X-like
behavior seems funny to users switching from Windows--and xpdf just
looks ugly.

Is there any way, in ggv or gpdf, to select text in a PDF for copying?
I couldn't find a way. Or is there some other pdf-viewing app that can
do it? If there isn't a way, then I guess the Adobe version has a
reason to exist and I'll want to get it and install it for our users.

Thanks,
Matt
