The question remained, is there a better open-source PDF reader? I know all the KDE users will shout Okular, but I run Gnome Desktop without the stack of KDE libs installed… It improved immensely around Ubuntu 10.10, loading and rendering documents and pages faster more smoothly. The native Linux equivalent, Evince, wasn’t good in Ubuntu 10.04, horribly slow and liable to crash. Having re-installed Ubuntu Karmic, I was trying to expunge as much the freedom-hating bloatware as I could and that includes Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader. Almost a year ago, I opened a thread on Full Circle Magazine forums asking what alternative PDF readers we have on Linux.
