You don't need a separate viewer, just use your internet browser to open it. (Even Internet explorer can handle that shit)

>>
Well, i'm actually using PDFlite, witch is open-source & fast as fuck.
>>
>>51416810
open you're pdf with microsoft office/libre office/open office.
He will probably convert it into some .odt file, from here you can extract the pic.
Even if there is probably a better option somewhere else.

Zathura is god-tier

>>51409770
If you are going to only "read", I don't think you should use anything other than your web browser. If you need more functionality, use Foxit.
>>
>>51410166
if only the font rendering wasn't shit. i find myself going back to acrobat reader dc because reading for a long time hurts my eyes.

>tfw sumatraPDF will never come to loonix
I just want a mupdf based lightweight reader that supports pdf, djvu, epub and doesn't pull in bunch of KDE or Gnome garbage, is that really too much to ask for?
