Xreader is a simple multi-page document viewer. It can display and print PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), DJVU, DVI and Portable Document Format (PDF) files.

When supported by the document, it also allows searching for text, copying text to the clipboard, hypertext navigation, and table-of-contents bookmarks.

What I see is that if I zoom into a page, I can no longer navigate to a different page using the keyboard (left/right arrow keys or pgup pgdn). If I switch to continuous view mode, than I can use up/down keys, but the application does not persist this setting, so I'd have to switch view modes for every document I access. I don't understand how this was considered good enough to be the default choice for a PDF reader, but maybe people are happy clicking through life. I don't imagine many technical users are happy with it. On the upside, these are really simple things to fix is the application and as far as I can tell, it behaves well in other respects.

since recently, it ALWAYS starts a pdf in presentation mode (fullscreen, not windowed, black background). The preferences to change anything are basically non-existent. This makes me just want to use firefox to view pdfs

This is a very full-featured PDF reader (I especially like the inverted colours-mode at night), although not a full-featured editor. It seems based off GNOME's Evince, but putting more buttons into the main interface which is an improvement in my book! It can be very slow on heavy PDFs, a browser renders those much faster.

Would be nice to have a way to set preferred view as continuous for new documents. Other than that I find its simplicity refreshing.

Hi! Unlike many other readers, the Xreader does not read CBR or CBZ.

Large PDF's reenders very slowly. Changed to Evince from previous Mint versions that was default.

The app is light and simple, it allows you to underline and put some annotations and bookmarks. It lacks the ability to open other documents in other tabs.

La app es liviana y sirve para abrir y leer documentos PDF pero carece de funciones como resaltar texto, subrayar, comentar, editar.

Xreader is a lightweight document / pdf viewer with a clean interface. However, I found it to be lacking in features for my needs, particularly for editing .pdf files.

The app is fine, but it lacks functionality, such as being able to comment and highlight texts.

Works well. The only feature I'd like is annotation.

The only things missing: 1. tabbed view of mutliple docs, 2. deleting, extracting pages, 3. merging, splitting pdfs. All the rest work like a charm on Mint 20.1!

I thought this was a pretty good viewer, but now, not so much. A. No way to set single page view as default for PDF. B. In single page mode, viewing a PDF, the SCROLLBAR GOES AWAY. Looking for alternative app now.
