Xpdf is another viable option for reading PDF files. And the keys caused the desired function as i pressed even w/o reading the man page or similar on the first time use. Though i would have preferred "=" to decrease the magnification (on US keyboard) instead of "shift+=" for "+", i am not complaining. While there is text finding capability in xpdf (which gv lacks), gv shows the page borders by use of white & grey colors, which xpdf does not (seem to). Xpdf paints everything in white inside its window which was enlarged more than the page size. - Parv --
