[News] Linux: Because Choice Gives Power...

A survey of Linux PDF viewers

| Recommendations

| If you have a choice, I recommend using a combination of Xpdf and
| KPDF to view PDF files. I'd rather copy and paste a URL leading to
| a PDF document into Konqueror and use the KPDF browser plugin than
| wait for the Acrobat Reader plugin to stuff its megabytes into my
| memory. Of course, you can also just instruct your browser to open
| PDF files with your favorite viewer, thus removing the dependency
| on plugins. Okular looks promising for people who don't like the
| "keep it plain" philosophy of the GNOME project that shows in
| Evince. Also, check out DjVu if your content is mainly in raster
| format (this is especially true for scanned documents and photographs).
