Linux PDF viewer?

[Benedict Holland]

Hello everyone,

I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04 and apparently acroread is no longer supported. I need to be able to view presentation slides in presentation mode. Does anyone have a pdf viewer that can do this, exactly like acroread?

Thanks,

~Ben

Hello,

evince works well for this. And it has a fullscreen mode.

Best regards,

Hi,

My preference is for imopressive rather than evince.

Okular is now a very credible replacement for acroread. Evince much less so.

To install acroread on Ubuntu 14.04 or newer, just add its 32-bit library dependencies manually, and get the last deb release from the Adobe ftp site:

$ aptitude install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libxml2:i386 libstdc++6:i386

$ wget ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

$ dpkg -i AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb

I also did

$ aptitude purge overlay-scrollbar

to get rid of a warning message.

Don't use that old acroread version to display untrusted documents, as it is full of security holes. But it is still perfectly useful for looking at your own PDFs.

At least for me, no PDF viewer for presentation is chosen otherwise
than impressive.
For Ubuntu,
$ sudo apt-get install impressive

LATE reply, but … xournal is a free software (for Windows, Mac and Linux) for free hand annotations

1. that works with a tablet and a stylus
2. that lets you place your annotations OVER the pages of an imported PDF files
3. that has a nice presentation mode - especially if you tweak a little bit its configuration file to turn off the UI
   # interface components in fullscreen mode, from top to bottom

   interface_fullscreen=drawarea

so that, in the end, you can present AND annotate your presentation at once.

Dear Giacomo,

Thanks, I didn't know about this nice annotation tool. It works
decently even without a pen, only with a mouse. If I need to present
without annotations only, I will stick with okular, I think.

Regards,
Jan
