    Best PDF Reader

    Can anyone recommend a Linux apt for viewing and/or editing PDF documents?

    Thanks, John

    There is the official Adobe if you need it... like kv777, I've not found a use to switch from Xubuntu's default, which would be evince. Okular will need the KDE libs to run, so if you're using KDE already, I'd recommend it.

    However, there is ePDFViewer which brags to be a PDF reader without GNOME dependencies. And I hear xPDF is decent too.

    I installed ePDFViewer and it does what I want, so will run with it. Thanks to all for your replies!

    Best regards, John

    Epdfviewer has no gnome dependencies as hellnoire suggested. Its the best choice out there.
