Hi Lucian,

Fab thanks. A git clone of your http://git.sugarlabs.org/git/read/evince-2-30.git now does the trick for testing in SoaS Mirabelle. Toolbars look good this time :-) I've only tested it on a couple of Gutenberg text PDFs so far, so yes as you mentioned the Edit toolbar is not so functional yet (no copy, no search). Everything else seems great so far e.g.

- creating bookmarks work
- page count and current page is correct
- forward/back work moving one screens worth at a time (sub menus for by page and bookmarks also work)
- view zoom in/out is good
- view zoom to fit width is good
- incremental zoom widget good
- full screen view (and back again) good

I'll try a wider range of test PDF's later (with more image content, some really great edu material at http://www.ck12.org if perhaps at our upper target age range).

Are there any other document types that evince was supporting that I should go test?

Fantastic work!! 

Regards,
--Gary
