KPDF – pdf viewer based on xpdf

Last Updated on July 11, 2021

KPDF is a KDE PDF (Portable Document Format) viewer based on the code of the Xpdf application. KPDF has some unique features such as continuous mode and presentation support.

KPDF also allows text in .pdf’s to be read through KTTS text-to-speech.

Please be aware that it does not provide any functionality to edit or create PDF documents.

KPDF will be replaced by okular once it has become more mature.

Features include:

• Presentation mode showing a document on a page per page basis; complete with page transitions.
• Three different ways of searching: find dialog, thumbnail filter and type-ahead find.
• Capture images and text easily with kpdf by dragging a rectangle around what is desired to be captured.
• Choosing the default background/text colors, like a CSS style sheet.
• Google-like search on thumbnails.
• Ability to add bookmarks to pages.
