Ghostscript is ok, I use it to verify PDFs are really broken when Acroread
won't open them. But I haven't been able to get a 2-up display with anything
but Acroread and Adobe still updates Acroread for SPARC so I run a local
webserver with doc on one of my SPARC boxes for when I don't have a real
manual. It's kind of neat to have the book displayed like a real book with
both pages visible. If I could scrounge a 30 inch monitor I could probably
read it without my bifocals ;-)
