Renders awfully slow even compared to xreader, and lacks features compared to Evince and xreader.

It's perfect! Solved all my problems completely. I use it basically to read books and make simple highlights. It's easy to use, it's cute, we can even configure our own keyboard shortcuts. This is a serious opponent for Adobe and Foxit. Huge thanks for all the Okular Team! ♡♥

Why does the package version always have to be the outdated one? Why is everybody pushing us to the stupid flatpak / snap absurdity?

Okular is fast, reliable, can edit/annotate documents, and has very customizable toolbars. I've decided that it's my favorite document / pdf viewer.

A well-made, feature-packed app, but it doesn't fit with Linux Mint.

In my opinion, far better than the default gnome document viewer.

Better than Atril or the default Document Viewer in Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa.

I have been using Okular to read my PDF and ePub formatted books and I am impressed. It does not crash or seize up like qpdfview does. The reading pane holds the zoom from chapter to chapter, unlike qpdfview. I really like this document viewer an will continue to use it.

Okular highlights are not compatible with Gmail (highlights are not visible in Gmail). Using Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon.

A little slower than MuPDF (which is to be expected), but has tons of awesome customization and view option, which is exactly what I was looking for. Looks like I found my default PDF viewer.

I use to see diagrams in pdf. And the zoom is one the best. Selection is not good. I do not know any better.

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.

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.
