Didn't know it existed - wow I'm impressed. Lightning fast. Only minor
niggles - can't tell it which magnification to start with, and can't
scroll through pages while always showing the same area of the page
(this is a major advantage of gv and kghostview). And it only works with
pdf... ;)

flpsed (although that has limitations - make sure you keep the PS or you
can't edit again, don't change view size or the what you see isn't what
you get)

Minor. For the odd pres I guess acrosh... will do.
