Pedrot001 1 month ago	4	I use to see diagrams in pdf. And the zoom is one the best. Selection is not good. I do not know any better.
ctfolmar 2 months ago	4	Nice software. It would be better if it had the ability to add text. I often get forms to complete in PDF format without the fillable fields. The ability to add text would allow me to complete the forms.
4ndy 2 months ago	4	The only linux-native reader I found that would show the annotations that a colleague sent me from horrid adobe software, but this was a pain to set up as this package did not include the necessary dependencies. To open the document I also installed kdelibs5-plugins, kdelibs5-data and oxygen-icon-theme. Thanks to user1529891 on askubuntu for that solution.
longnguyen2306 4 months ago	5	Hell of an application. This is essential for everyone who wants to get rid of those greedy adobe! Maybe and editing function to delete or merge pages would be nice but this app already has almost features I need
uberdonkey 4 months ago	5	Best pdf editor fore reviewing - can highlight, add notes, circle, box around text. Zoom in and out with mouse. BUT can't remove/move pages edit etc
governmint 6 months ago	1	Freeze as soon as I tried to load a 800 pages book in ODT.
Akalla 1 year ago	5	Great
zboraon 1 year ago	5	Really, the best

herogee 3 years ago	4	Thank you swmcd.
quyet 4 years ago	3	Thank swmcd for your advice.
swmcd 4 years ago	5	If it complains about missing plugins, you may need some KDE libs. See the Linux Mint Release Notes: Issues with KDE apps
drewt333 4 years ago	2	Very disapointing. Supposedly the best pdf viewer for linux can't view pdf layers.
marakov 4 years ago	4	Pretty good
vincav91 4 years ago	4	Superior to Evince (better UI, more features etc.)
jahid_0903014 4 years ago	4	nice
nickolaspf 4 years ago	5	My favorite pdf viewer. Has features that you find in expensive software! One of the reasons I use KDE along with Kile, Amarok, Dolphin and K3b...
anandrkris 4 years ago	4	Good application to view pdf and cbz files. Hoping qt dependencies reduce after KDE framework modular work.
Oc3lot 4 years ago	4	The best. But if you run a GTK desktop remeber that then you'll install a lot of dependencies.
ogburnpaul 4 years ago	4	its alright
jimpster_pl 4 years ago	5	Cery useful, easy and user firendly!
quidam 4 years ago	5	Simply great. I miss it on my windows pc @ work - acrobat reader is slower, heavier and doesn't look as good :)
mavpouck 4 years ago	5	If I could, I would rate it with 6 stars :-)
jzrolka 4 years ago	5	Better than Acrobat.
estuardo 4 years ago	5	Love it

nika_wska 5 years ago	5	The best pdf viewer ;)
gloriousigor 5 years ago	5	the best pdf viewer on either windoze or linux. period.
lufilte 5 years ago	4	melhor que Evince
chisa 5 years ago	3	If you need an app to open/extract a corrupted PDF file, this is not for you, try qpdf or pdfsam instead. qpdf extracts a smaller/compressed PDF file while pdfsam has a GUI and also merges/splits PDFs.
Lemurmur 6 years ago	4	Quite good
hurinth 6 years ago	4	Great, in case of running into the could not open /home/, check out this post: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=113721&p=657501#p657501
geoffm 6 years ago	5	The only decent PDF viewer on linux, though it's far behind PDF-Xchange
TrOjAnHoRsE 6 years ago	5	Best E-book reader for Linux!
Romitas 6 years ago	5	Much cooler than all viewers I've seen before
kennethso 6 years ago	5	Incredibly fast, even when opening a pdf file with many pages. Also this is less susceptible to crashes than the default Document Viewer.
mehdi_tey 6 years ago	5	I love highlighting features
The_Loko 6 years ago	5	Best document viewer ever! Very useful the annotations when studying
slw_ 6 years ago	4	Howitzer in its class.
fdR4T4eG2 6 years ago	1	bloated
mysoomro 6 years ago	5	Nice document viewer
ali20 6 years ago	4	good and beautifull
TheBorder25 6 years ago	5	This is much faster than Adobe. It loads quickly and scrolls really smoothly!
BeatSmith 6 years ago	5	The equivalent of foxit reader on Windows; fast, easy and reliable. Too bad that foxit reader is slow on linux ...
devmehedee 7 years ago	5	just switched from evince
AbyZ 7 years ago	5	Ich liebe es
mitanshugamer 7 years ago	5	Has Kde like interface but still the best one ...
kalsan 7 years ago	5	Fast and easy :-)
killmess 7 years ago	5	Fast, very fast!
jotafrisco 7 years ago	5	My preferred one.
xellinne 7 years ago	2	Prompt js error when try open it - Error - %c 'could not open /home/user/%i' and then i click ok got 2nd error 'could not open /home/user/%U'
heissfuss 7 years ago	5	Much faster than Acrobat, and lots of features
52177 7 years ago	5	Finally a XPS viewer in linux and a much better PDF reader then gnome has that I've seen Thanks KDE
aljohani 7 years ago	4	lebih ringan ketimbang adobe reader
Newbie 7 years ago	5	The best pdf reader. Nothing else to say!
Boringbytes 8 years ago	4	Excellent, Easy to use document viewer.
Elisa 8 years ago	5	Cool :-)
DJPhil 8 years ago	5	Seems to be an excellent replacement for Adobe's reader. Uses KDE libraries, so not very lightweight for gnome users. Was difficult to find in Software Manager but worth it.
Fhernd 8 years ago	5	It's so functional!
thrillseeker 8 years ago	4	I agree--it's better than Evince. I prefer Gnome for it's look & feel, but I have to admit, many KDE apps are just plain better than their Gnome equivalents.
NicolasRobidoux 8 years ago	5	works when evince doesn't (under Gnome!)
ledjin 8 years ago	5	The best of pdf viewers!
rhjiv 8 years ago	4	great for markups
L0r3nz0 8 years ago	4	Great pdf viewer!
AndrewX192 8 years ago	4	Great for viewing documents in KDE4, replaces the old kpdf program from KDE3.
