Try Evince OP. It should do what you want.

sumatra has been known for a number of years now, far better than foxit reader
it's like how ublock origin replaces adblock plus

I'm actually a Windows user (for now). But it's just that I believe all programs should be cross platform with portable code.

Wish it and Honeyview where on linux

>>61680203
sadly evince is maintained by GNOME fucktards
okular is great too but sadly maintained by KDE fucktards
All I want is a MuPDF based PDF reader that allows decent text selection and works on Linux or *BSD

>Winbloze devs can't port their programs
This is why you make them portable from the START.

>>61682550
You do realize that it is difficult to know whether your software is going to be succesful or not. If it was made portable from the start then it may not have been the sumatra that we know and love today. The devs would probably have to make compromises and at the end of it we would have had yet another mediocre pdf reader

Damn right

Sumatra PDF reader is great than Adobe reader, just like 7-zip comparing to WinRAR.

It is literally impossible to write portable code in almost all cases when it comes to anything more advanced than a toy program, a "portable" program is really basically just two programs in one source file separated by macros, depending on the targeted platform certain code blocks will be compiled and others ignored. It's not as simple as "write portable code", especially when it comes to anything involving a GUI. There are platforms you can use to deploy cross-platform software, but they all suck at the moment. .NET is probably the best hope for the near future as cross-platform support expands.

How does it compare to honeyview
>>
>>61683458
It does not compare at all.
Honeyview - image-viewing botnet.
Sumatra - good reader.
I use both.
