Evince: Speed and Functionality Combined

By

“GNOME users are probably well familiarized with this document
viewer. Every time you click a PDF you downloaded from the web, it
will start up and, in an instant, render the document for you to
view.

“Among the document file formats that Evince supports out of the
box you will find PDF, by using the Poppler library, Postscript
(.ps) files, TIFF images, TeX output in the form of DVIs and even
DjVu compressed files. Throw in a few more libraries, and you will
be able to open OpenOffice.org Impress documents, comics in the
CBR, CBZ and CB7 compressed formats and even images, although we
can’t recommend it as a primary image viewer and it might be
unstable. In the future Powerpoint rendering may be added, and even
support for some other formats.”
