I thought kpdf and Okular; I know for a fact that kpdf embeds into Konqueror (I may be wrong, though). Kumar -- "Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?"

From: Francesco Pietra on 1 Mar 2010 03:30 Unfortunately, for dealing with most editors of scientific journals, and for personal use of the scientific literature, either as author or referee, neither the readers you mention, nor any one other I know except acroread, are enough. Because of these problems (which are not unique to acroread), most my colleagues have turned to either Microsoft or Apple for the desktop. I intend to stick to Debian also for the desktop, but such affairs are wasting our time. We can not devote more time to have acroread running than for a scientific code. At present, the second task has become easier that the trivial affair of having office tools running. I am also surprised about the Debian policy for deb packages of scientific code: they provide the last version for testing or sid, while scientific code is run on stable Debian. So, the developer do much work for nothing. This criticism is intended to be constructive, so that I have extended this reply to Debian and Vincenzo, who kindly tried to help.

Umm... what exactly is wrong with xpdf? I use it routinely, authoring and refereeing. I find it light and fast. evince works too, though I find xpdf faster. I do not understand your problem.
