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.
Nice tools, will try it!!

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.
