Hi all,  
I’ve been using Scrivener for several months, in both Windows and Linux. I don’t have issues at all in Windows, however I cannot see PDF files being displayed in Linux (specifically Ubuntu).  
In the Beta version 0.2.5., I get 5 white pages displayed for each PDF regardless of its length.  
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and commonly use the Document Viewer 2.30.3 or Okular Version 0.10.5 to view PDFs.  
Has anyone had a similar issue and dealt with it?  
Thanks in advance for your suggestions 😃

As far as I know, PDF support is not available on linux (check the readme file). However, previous versions didn’t display even blank pages, so perhaps support is coming?

I was just surprised that the visualisation had changed (from a white screen on 0.2.4 to 5 white pages in 0.2.5). I thought it was a particular error with my installation or settings.  
Even so, the project is great. Keep the great work with both Windows and Linux versions!
