Evince, alternative Linux à Adobe Reader

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Evince is a solid, free replacement for Adobe Reader for most everyday PDF tasks. It opens, prints, searches, and annotates PDFs with highlights and text notes. It works well for users who need a lightweight viewer integrated into GNOME or other Linux desktop environments. Those who rely on advanced features like form filling, digital signatures, or extensive PDF editing will find Evince lacking.
