Evince

Evince is a document viewer for both Portable Document Format (PDF) and PostScript documents for the GNOME desktop environment. The goal of Evince is to replace the multiple document viewers that exist on GNOME, like GGv, GPdf, and Xpdf with a single simple Application software. Evince started as just a rewrite of the gpdf code which most people thought was getting unwieldy to maintain. In a short period of time it surpassed the functionality of gpdf. Evince is actively being maintained and is under active development.
