[Therion] Water areas produce heavy PDF files

[Bill Gee]

I agree that Adobe Reader defines what it means to be "compatible".  However, for those of us running Linux Adobe Reader is not a viable option.  I used to have an rpm file for a 32-bit Adobe Reader from about 2008 or 2010.  Some library changes made it stop working.

Okular and poppler are part of the KDE project.  I found another application called Master PDF Editor which also renders Therion maps with reasonable speed.  There is a free version and it is available for all of Windows, Linux and MacOS.  https://code-industry.net/masterpdfeditor/[1]    It is not as fast as Adobe Reader, but much faster than Okular.
