Thanks for all the instruction videos. Maybe somebody can link them in the kde wiki, so that new users get a quick glance at new applications. Keep up the good work

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to reduce the big button bar on the left like using miniatures as in acrobat reader.

For now if I want to reduce it I can’t only disable it with the contents tree. Not having a 16/10 screen makes me a whore for horizontal space :)

Can Okular open .doc files? Those are the only real documents being emailed around our university.

Will it ever open .lit files? Someone reverse engineered the format, and a tool exists to convert .lit to .html, but it is a command line tool that has to be done individually. It would be fantastic if Okular could open my .lit collection.

If you are looking for that .lit tool: It is called after the abbreviation of “convert lit”: clit. See http://www.convertlit.com.

Just a quick note :
IMHO the sidebar from KPDF was better than the present sidebar.
Indeed when looking at your screenshot, I can noticed that whereas I can see fully the document, I can barely see something in the table of contents : titles are shortcuted, and I do hope that the numbers are corresponding to the page numbers. Space is wasted because of the sidebar containing ( contents, thumbmail, reviews, … ). With KPDF this waste did not exist as clicking on “contents” would have bring the table of contents _under_ “contents” and so we add more spec to display the titles.

People with big Widescreen displays may not have issues, but people with 4/3 screen, or tiny screen ( cf UMPC ) will waste many informations and space.
