Zathura is fantastic.
- boogies 6y agoThis, but at least in my Debian oldstable based distro, it requires Poppler, which the currently highest sibling of your post has pointed out has had vulnerabilities at least in the distant past (Edit: ~7+ years ago). (Edit the second: upstream also supports mupdf https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/plugins/ https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/plugins/, but that’s had exploits as recently as 2017 on https://www.exploit-db.com/. https://www.exploit-db.com/.)
- Merg 6y agoGive Sumatra a chance. At least under Windows. It requires a bit of love in terms of changing default color (e.g. single value in config file, from bright yellow to something toned down), but it super fast, lightweight and open wide range of formats (pdf, epub, mobi, djvu).
- boogies 6y agoI (not OP) believe I have. It’s nice, but Zathura can use the same engine (MuPDF, which is responsible for the speed and format support, although Zathura also supports Poppler, which Sumatra has removed support for), and is beautifully vi-like. And what advantages does Sumatra have over pure MuPDF? DRM?
- dependenttypes 6y agoIf I am not mistaken Sumatra is windows-only (zathura is cross platform) and enforces DRM (you can't copy from documents which disallow it). It is objectively an inferior option.
