Description


KDE Okular is a universal document viewer based on KPDF, an open source viewer for .PDF files. You must have the K Desktop Environment (KDE) installed in order to use Okular, but you don't need the whole KDE desktop. It is available in binary packages for Windows and Linux, but must be built from OS X source code.

Ocular is the default PDF viewer for the KDE desktop and is included in distributions such as Kubuntu and Fedora's KDE spin. It is mainly used to view .PDF documents but the viewer also supports Postscript, DjVu, CHM, ePub, XPS, OPF, FictionBook, Mobipocket, and ComicBook formats. Some of the program's annotation features include the ability to highlight, comment on PDF documents, add textboxes, and draw lines and geometric shapes.

Okular is a popular choice for Linux users who are looking for a PDF viewer. Its capabilities and format support help it compete directly with other viewers, such as Adobe Reader and Evince. KDE Okular is less appealing for Windows and OS X users because there are many more options.
