Good, I installed the three plug-ins and it now displays the pdf file I 
was testing with.

I put it into "full screen" and it took a while to find that could be 
undone with F5 ...

I'm not sure it's any better than evince but I saw it mentioned and 
wanted to try it. I will try the commands Ranjan suggests.

Bob
