Okular Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Signing PDFs

  If you mean signing as in "signing with your handwritten signature", you could use Okular () which easily allows you to do that. Filling out forms also works nicely. Source: 5 months ago

• Alexandria: A minimalistic cross-platform eBook reader

  I was in a similar position lately until I found Okular. Have you tried it? https://okular.kde.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

  I would try Okular first, though, which is free and open source: https://okular.kde.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• EPUB 3.3 becomes a W3C recommendation

  KDE's okular might be a good choice. I haven't personally used it for epub but I know it supports it. https://okular.kde.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Are there any good PDF viewers for large (10Mb+) datasheets that can save search results in the actual PDF, and take notes on the PDF?

  I use okular, don't think it has web export though. Source: 12 months ago

• Are there any PDF readers that keep track of the progress?

  You mean save your spot where you left off? Okular does that. Source: about 1 year ago

• Okular .webp file support

  Now I'm getting an error that the file cannot be opened. Unsupported file format. But on the main page of the site https://okular.kde.org/ it is written that the program should support it. Source: about 1 year ago

• I created a free online PDF toolkit including edit, convert, merge, etc.!

  Then there is putting your (often handwritten) signature on the file. In many programs this one is done through Stamps (for example in Ocular, my favorite pdf reader). Source: about 1 year ago

• Why is okular so slow at loading/reading epubs?

  Wrong. KPDF was a PDF viewer. Okular is a document viewer. It advertises itself as "The Universal Document Viewer". The front page blurb reads. Source: over 1 year ago

• KDE Gear ⚙️ 22.12 is here! The updated collection of KDE's apps and frameworks brings a useful selection mode to Dolphin, Gwenview adds (more) editing features, Kwrite and Kate get keyboard macros and much, much, more.

  Https://okular.kde.org/ says you can. Source: over 1 year ago

• Tools for annotating PDFs?

  Okular https://okular.kde.org/ can annotate PDF (and save the result as a PDF too). Source: over 1 year ago

• What's a good, free PDF viewer?

  Okular is my go to. Anyone who has experience on the linux desktop will recognize it as its part of KDE. Source: over 1 year ago

• PDF, what's next?

  AFAIK, okular is pretty feature rich and has a windows version (ref. https://okular.kde.org/ ). Source: over 1 year ago

• Best Reading Software

  Okular is a program made by KDE and is available on Linux and Windows and opens EPUB and all sorts of various files. I just set it as my replacement for PDFs. Source: over 1 year ago

• Going from zathura to neovim

  You didn't say what OS you're using, but on linux the best of the poppler-based PDF viewers are probably qpdfview (lighter weight) and okular (heavier but more features), both of which have good synctex support as well. Source: over 1 year ago

  Use Okular, a r/kde app. And if you use a system which is based on KDE (with the Plasma desktop), all of the app are so well integrated between each other and the desktop that you'll forget Microsoft and all of their trashy apps you pay for :). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there any Adobe Acrobat DC/Pro-like PDF reader application in Linux?

  Okular and Xournal++ are good FOSS alternatives to adobe acrobat. Source: almost 2 years ago

• We’ve all done it

  KDE's Okular is free software for Linux, Windows, and macOS that can do this at no cost as well. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What functionality should be added by default to gnome but isn't? Mines are:

  There's like a million pdf apps out there, but they're almost all proprietary, and I have a suspicion that the open source ones get sued / bought out. Not sure how else to explain why no good open source pdf viewer / editor exists on linux besides okular. Source: almost 2 years ago

• vim-groff-viewer: A vim plugin for displaying Groff files in a document viewer.

  Hello; I've just written a Vim plugin for displaying Groff files in a document viewer (e.g. Zathura, Evince, Okular or Xreader). I wanted something that would allow me to visualise what I was typing in Groff, every time I saved in Vim; rather than compiling when I'd finished the document. The texgroff.vim plugin is similar, but doesn't work for my preferred macro and isn't tied to the :write command. Download,... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Need to find a visual PDF editor

  Okular? It's Linux-native, but there's a decent version for Windows as well. Source: about 2 years ago
