Evince, alternative Linux à Sumatra PDF
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Evince is a solid Linux alternative for most Sumatra PDF users. It handles the same core formats—PDF, DjVu, EPUB‑like comic archives—and starts quickly enough for everyday reading. Users who value a minimal UI and tabbed browsing may miss those features, but anyone needing basic search, annotation, or tighter desktop integration will find Evince comfortable. It’s best for GNOME‑oriented users or anyone who wants a native Linux viewer with a few extra capabilities, while power users who rely on Sumatra’s ultra‑light footprint or tabbed multi‑document view might look for a different tool.

- Integrates with GNOME theming and desktop services, making it feel less generic
- Supports additional formats like XPS, EPS, and DVI with SyncTeX, beyond Sumatra’s list
Ouvrir vos fichiers Sumatra PDF
Both applications read the same PDF, DjVu, and comic‑book archive files without conversion, so opening existing documents works out of the box. Evince does not export to Sumatra‑specific settings files, but no special export step is needed; just open the files directly. If you rely on Sumatra’s custom configuration files, you’ll have to recreate equivalent shortcuts manually in Evince’s preferences.

Does Evince support opening multiple PDFs at once?
Yes, you can open several PDFs simultaneously, but each opens in a separate window rather than tabs.
Can I annotate PDFs in Evince like I can in Sumatra?
Evince offers basic annotation (highlighting and text notes); Sumatra does not provide this feature.
Is Evince as lightweight as Sumatra PDF?
Evince is lightweight for a full GNOME application, but its memory footprint is higher than Sumatra’s ultra‑minimal design.
