Evince
 Evince is a
document
viewer for multiple document formats. It currently supports PDF,
Postscript, DjVu, TIFF and DVI formats. The goal of Evince is to
replace the
multiple document viewers that exist in the GNOME
Desktop with a single
easy to use application.
The software shares much of the functionality offered by Adobe
Reader
with the exception of bookmarking, PDF files with Javascript animation,
and PDF Browser plugins.
Evince has a similar feature set to Adobe
Reader. It is not as quick as Adobe
Reader at rendering complex PDF documents. Neither
does Evince currently have any browser plugin functionality.
