Evince

Evince is a document viewer for PDF, PostScript, DjVu, TIFF and DVI documents for the GNOME desktop environment. In developing the application the aim was to replace the multiple GNOME document viewers with a single and simple application.

Evince has been included in GNOME since GNOME 2.12, released on 7 September 2005. It is written mainly in C, with a small part (the code that interfaces with poppler) written in C++.

Released under the GNU General Public License, Evince is free software.

History

Evince began as a rewrite of GPdf, which most people thought was getting unwieldy to maintain. In a short period of time it surpassed the functionality of GPdf. GPdf and GGV, the default Postscript viewer in GNOME, are no longer maintained.

Developers

As of June 2008 the Evince development team included:

  • James Bowes
  • Jonathan Blandford
  • Carlos García Campos
  • Bryan Clark
  • Kristian Høgsberg
  • Martin Kretzschmar
  • David Malcolm
  • Nickolay V. Shmyrev

Features

  • Search: Integrated search that displays the number of results found and highlights the results on the page.
  • Page thumbnails: Thumbnails of pages show quick reference for page navigation within a document. Evince's thumbnails are available in the left sidebar of the viewer.
  • Page indexing: For documents that support indexes Evince gives the option of showing the document index for quick moving from one section to another.
  • Selection: Evince allows selecting text in PDF files.
  • Dual: Evince may show two pages (left, right) at a time.

Evince supports many different single and multipage document formats. Here is the list of formats that are currently supported.
