[gentoo-user] pdf viewer
Hi, what do you as PDF viewer? Most of the time, I was using xpdf, and that doesn't seem to be available in Gentoo. I compiled it from source and found out that it cannot display PDFs so well and gives error messages about not being able to find fonts. Pdfpc isn't a good alternative. -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.

Works well for me. Regards wabe

Most of the time I use app-test/zathura, whose default key-binding is vim-style. But recently I found app-test/llpp a better choice, at least the speed of fulltext search is very-very-very fast. But I 'm still wondering if there 's some better one. -- Zesen Qian (钱泽森)

I compiled it from source and found out that it cannot display PDFs so well and gives error messages about not being able to find fonts. Pdfpc isn't a good alternative. For advanced actions (e.g. pdf notes editing, pdf fields editing, work with pdf indexes and so on) I use evince. When I need something simple (e.g. to read pdf books) I use mupdf. Another bonus of mupdf is unlimited scale of pdf pages (limited only by available memory). This is really handy when handling huge pdf pages (e.g. some schemes, graphs) with very small fonts, so large zoom is required to made them readable; evince can't handle such issues.
