PDF Reader recomendation

[joelwhrs]

I'm looking for a PDF reader that does a good job of reading PDFs off of a CD. I tried using evince and it just loads pages 1-4 and when you get to page 5 it removes pages 1-4 from cache and loads pages 5-8. Is there a setting that I can change this or is there a better PDF reader for this application?

Have you tried Adobe Reader?

Or xpdf
I'm not sure if it does or does not do the same thing as Evince though. It just works for me.

I was looking at adobe reader but heard quite a few complaints with load speed. I would like to have one that starts quickly and loads the pages in cache so that I can easily scroll through them without waiting on a page to load.

When it comes to software, I think its better to try it and review it yourself because peoples opinions and circumstances differ. Don't go by hearsay.

Hello and welcome to the forums!

I totally agree with daark.child's recommendation above that you try them yourself. You can find more PDF viewer options here:

PDF | Linux App Finder

Adobe, Evince, and Okular (not necessarily in that order) are probably the most used under Linux.

I use epdfviewer.

Appnr - epdfview

Thanks for all the replies, I will check out some of those links and try out some different PDF readers and see which I like best...

I find it doesn't always work for me. Sometimes text just doesn't appear at all in xpdf although graphical headers and logos do. Evince and epdfview show the same documents perfectly. I have no idea why; I just sigh and use a different program.
