I've been downloading a lot of PDF viewers, and after downloading this one, I was instantly in love. It didn't crash when I pushed it like Sumatra. It has previews on the side, it's very fast, has great text selection, and it's always active, unlike Foxit's nastiness. The only issues I had were how it wanted to install in Application Data, which was easy to fix, and my only current issue: It opens the same, tiny size each time. There may be a setting somewhere, but I'd like it to open at 100% each time.
Evince is my default PDF reader, but still lacks annotations as you can notice by the comments above.
Still, it has great GTK+3.x theme integration, no bloat, and I can read both my big true-pdf files and .cbr comic books flawlessly.
My upvote.
It is great also that you can use the home row (h, j, k, l), and other useful shortcuts, to move arround
Opening 40 PDF fiels with average size of 2M within a second? No problem!
Good program, but it didn't copy text from PDF to clipboard - what a disappointment =(
That only happens in certain pdf, usually made from old documents, because they are images scanned from the original source.
