This is a nice app, and the best pdf viewer i could find for windows. that said, the scrolling behavior sucks on both windows and a debian build i tried it on.

> the best pdf viewer i could find for windows I haven’t used Windows for at least half a decade, but I remember using Sumatra PDF, and thought that was the best pdf viewer for windows. It's free, extremely light -weight and feature rich. And reads a lot formats- epub, mobi, cbr, you name it. You should definitely try Sumatra PDF.

  Not multi-platform, unfortunately.

  I use Sumatra frequently, and while it's great at what it does, there's a lot it doesn't do. It's strictly a viewer only, so it doesn't even have rudimentary annotations like highlights or underlines. As an epub/mobi reader it's even more lacking. It won't allow you to search for or copy words, despite being able to do so with pdfs. Also, there are some azw3 that are effectively mobi, but Sumatra won't load them unless you rename them with the mobi extension.

      Only for PDFs, not for the text based document formats. But yes, you're 100% correct!

  I moved from Sumatra to okular because the latter has more features and is not perceptibly slower.

What is wrong with the scrolling behavior? It seems fine to me. I just tried it on Arch: scrolling with Page Down and during Find is instant and works exactly like I would expect. I like that you can configure the Page Up/Down overlap for scrolling as well.

  Sorry, I should have specified touchpad scrolling. (two finger drag)

    Works excellently well from my experience, even on a 144Hz display

      The machines I’ve tried it on were a Dell Latitude with a Windows Precision touchpad and a friend’s Dell XPS 13 running debian. In fact in the second case, I recommended the app, and my friend rejected because he felt the touchpad scrolling was off.
