Topic: PDF viewer

Just thought id share a little viewer I found. Its desktop independent, and its just as nice as evince for the Little bit i need a PDF viewer. Its called

ePDF View
http://trac.emma-soft.com/epdfview/

Its a nice little piece of software, and its one less Gnome app to be floating around in Crunchbang. Just an idea that i thought fit in better with openbox/xfce.

Edit: Sorry was tired when i posted this and miss named the app.

Re: PDF viewer

just installed this, looks pretty nice. i thought i might have to install the Poppler-depency, but turns out i didn't (Poppler maybe default installed in #! ?), so that means (at least for me, and maybe for everyone using #!) no depencies, which is nice as well. and i thought i had to install from the .deb or tarball or whatever from the site, but the app is also in Synaptic so you can apt-get it as well. that's 3x nice!

Re: PDF viewer

Thanks for the hint, I'll replace Evince with that. (Maybe we should start a pinned thread with all sorts of CLI/no-dependencies-applications?)

Re: PDF viewer

@.not: i'd be up for that. i like to use CLI apps wherever i can. hadn't thought about the no-dependencies apps yet, but those are useful as well. but then you also got the small-dependencies apps which can be useful too...

edit: well look what i came across: http://www.jaredandcoralee.com/CLIapps.html

Re: PDF viewer

That's not a bad web page (bookmarked) wonder if they have any power manager alternatives listed and glad I finally proposed something that wasn't flamed until it was ashes big_smile.

Re: PDF viewer

I've been using apvlv for a pdf viewer for awhile and quite like it, but it isn't as user friendly as epdf. The CLI site mentioned above is really great. I actually discovered quite a few CLI programs that I use regularly there.

Re: PDF viewer

The cliapp link is pretty cool. Thanks.

Also regarding the pdf reader i use (mainly for reading scientific papers) the mendeley service (http://www.mendeley.com/). The nice thing is that it's client is quite good (support pdf annotation and stuff).

Re: PDF viewer

read that Mozilla is busy working on their own PDF-viewer which will be integrated in FF. that sounds nice.
