An indispensable program for viewing PDFs. For example, the default PDF viewer that comes with the system makes it very difficult to scale drawings that contain small letters, numbers, and so on. It's not possible to do this with standard tools. This program, however, allows for any level of zoom that the user needs. Plus, it can work with markdown files and more. I'm very satisfied with this program.
So far, so good. But the inability to change the micro-font size of the table of contents renders the program unusable. Uninstalled.
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Why does the package version always have to be the outdated one?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I really like this pdf reader and I'm using it everyday but problem is it's version is pretty outdated.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.
