- is pretty fast - has matured quite well - remembers the current page - renders quite ok - even supports some basic interactivity - (has an ugly yellow pop up windows but those can nowadays be recolored) - can be installed as portable application - works ok wine/linux (in fact has my preference now when on linux)
I have to admit that I often think to a context pdf viewer, and mupdf
seems the right candidate. Under ubuntu 64bit 12.04 xpdf doesn't work, acroreader is still 9 32 bit (so I use wine acroreader 11) evince is ok, probably also okular. A context pdf viewer should be like sumatrapdf at least --- so in the end I also installed sumatrapdf.exe under linux .
Now that I have done a luatex binding for mupdf, if we have a minimal GUI toolkit cross platform (but really minimal) it's possible to build a pdfviewer in luatex
If you’re serious about this, the Zathura guys have a separate interface library based on GTK [1]. Having some (any) Lua capability inside a pdf viewer would indeed be nice. Best, Philipp [1] http://pwmt.org/projects/girara/.
