Actually, the backport was too large (70MB) to upload via HTTP, so I gave up :D

shhhh..... quiet :wink:

There's always 7.0 Acroread (ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/acroread_7.0-0sarge0.9_i386.deb) and 7.0 Mozilla-acroread (ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/mozilla-acroread_7.0-0sarge0.9_i386.deb) in Marillat. Marked as for Sarge but I can attest they work perfectly in Hoary.

KPDF is excellent at selecting text.

It's dog-slow and can't render images with transperancy properly.
