Struggles pretty badly with scanned pdfs; taking upto 70-80 seconds in some cases to render.
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Why does the package version always have to be the outdated one?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.
I really like this pdf reader and I'm using it everyday but problem is it's version is pretty outdated.
El mejor visor de pdf, maneja perfectamente archivos de pdf pesados y el buscador es muy bueno.
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.
