PDF Reader

Thu Feb 27, 2014 8:05 pm

I'm hoping someone can suggest a good PDF reader. I have Raspbian and am using XPDF but it is very basic. Can the Adobe Linux version run on the PI? I'm not finding much information on it for the PI. Thanks Much!

No, and it would be extremely slow and probably eat up all available memory; it's a terrible piece of software. What are you really missing in Xpdf?
Minimal Kiosk Browser (kweb)
Slim, fast webkit browser with support for audio+video+playlists+youtube+pdf+download
Optional fullscreen kiosk mode and command interface for embedded applications
Includes omxplayerGUI, an X front end for omxplayer

I'm missing the ability to highlight and move the pdf around like you can with the 'hand' in Adobe.

I found a PDF reader and it does exactly what I want. It's called Okular.

Thanks for the help!
