GNOME/Document viewer

Tango-view-fullscreen.pngThis article or section needs expansion.Tango-view-fullscreen.png

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.

Troubleshooting

Printer does not show up

Simply install gtk3-print-backends.

Zoom-in is limited

Increasing Evince's page cache size allows you to zoom in further, which is handy for large documents. By default the setting is set to 50MiB. Increasing the page cache size obviously increases Evince's memory consumption when zoomed-in.

The following command increases the page cache size to one gigabyte:

dconf write /org/gnome/evince/page-cache-size "uint32 1000"
