41 In some Linux distributions, not all formats are supported by default, so you might not be able to view all the formats listed above.
44 Support for a format is called a <em>backend</em>. If <app>Evince</app> gives you the error "Unable to Open Document", you may wish to check whether the backend package for the format is installed.
