# GNOME/Document viewer

< GNOME

This article or section needs expansion.

Reason: Needs more information; right now is essentially equivalent to the listing in List of applications. (Discuss in Talk:GNOME/Document viewer#)
Document viewer is specifically designed to support the file following formats: PDF, Postscript, djvu, tiff, dvi, XPS, SyncTex support with gedit, comics books (cbr,cbz,cb7 and cbt). For a comprehensive list of formats supported, see Supported Document Formats.

Document viewer uses the poppler library as a backend.

Note: Document viewer was previously known as Evince until the application was given new descriptive names, one for each supported language. The name Evince is still used in numerous places such as the executable name, some package names, some desktop entries, and some GSettings schemas.

## Installation

Install the evince package, or evince-gitAUR for the development version. Evince installs the gnome-desktop as a dependency

For a standalone version install evince-no-gnomeAUR or the light version evince-lightAUR for pdf support only.
