For GNU/LINUX ?

I like sumatrapdf on windows it's very customizable, mostly because of the colors. You can change foreground and background colors and it's awesome.

I hate white on black, and inverted black on white doesn't help.

So what are you using for reading your pdfs on linux?

I tried pdftotext so i could read directly from the terminal, which sounds awesome but there's lots of glitches and shit when i pdftotext the k&r

I have yet to find something that comes close to Sumatra on Linux. One of my few complaints after switching OS
>>
I use okular.
Haven't looked at the background color though.
When I read papers, I don't see the background because the width of the document fits the width of the window.
And when I do presentations, that background is back by default.
I know it has tons of features though.
It is also much better than evince.

what's the use of a pdf reader if you can't even highlight text or make annotations?

why isn't MsReader installed by default with Windows 10? it just works.
>>
>>56577301
Slower than Sumatra and worse UI. Also, many of us don't need to highlight or annotate.

if a book you've read isn't full of cryptic highligted words and autistic notes, you didn't learn nothing from it.
>>
>>56577799
if i have notes to take it's on a notepad with a real pen. Don't try pushing your way of learning to others, it doesn't work like that.

qpdfview is pretty damn good and not bloated.

evince is god tier but don't talk about bloated programs when you use W10 faggot

Looks cancerous

>>56577673
I use evince however I am uninstalling it right now since it decided that it would be cool in a recent update not to show the sidebar by default. Not to mention the dependencies it needs.

Oh true i forgot about zathura. Beautiful with i3
>>
>>56578719
yes, qpdfview is great

furthermore I use mendeley to sync pdfs and annotations and highlights (between pcs and OSs). It's surprisingly not hogging that much ressources for what it can do. The interface isn't great, especially on small screens and the pdf-reader is hardly on par even with the most minimal dedicated pdf-readers

no mupdf?

is there any reader that supports pdf, epub, and mobi?
I tried okular but it doesn't seem to work with mobi, so I switched to calibre but it seems kind of bloated. I also don't really like the whole library management system in it.
I'd rather just double click on the file I want to read and have it open in the program instead of first opening the program and then finding the right file.

evince. just rtfmp about configuring colors.
>>
>>56583923
i mean zathura
>>
>>56583767
This is what I need.
Reads whatever I throw at it like Sumatra did on Windows.
>>
>>56583767
Calibre also has an executable for just that. It's ebook-viewer on my distro. It probably has a launcher in Graphics category too.

I just use evience and call it a day.

I use sumatra too, but I don't know how to customize it. Any tips?
Also how the fuck does highling work.
>>
>>56576806
get mupdf

- simple + lightweight
- invert or change colors (flux/redshift like)
- pdf AND epub support
- vi keybindings
>>
>>56576806
I use okular. There are a few features missing in evince, most notably forward search integration, which had me make the switch.

Sumatra can highlight, and it only uses a few MB of memory

Came here to post this.

>>56585667
on mupdf you hold right mouse button to select text

you might be able to highlight text as well, I haven't checked the keybindings/don't use it often enough
>>
>>56585570
on GNU/Linux you retard
>>
>>56585667
You can select text in mupdf. Right-click and drag.
>>
>>56584841

>>
>>56588981
Press i to invert the colors.
