Firefox honestly got many really good editing features, to fulfill the needs of many people.

Stuff that PDFArranger and maybe Okular do is missing.

When zathura (my beloved) isn’t feature-rich enough for my needs I usually turn to okular. Sure, it’s kde, so if you’re on a pure gnome system you’re going to have to install a bunch of dependencies, but if that’s not a problem for you, okular is quite good in my experience!

SentientFishbowl OP ,

I’m on XFCE, so was hoping for an alternative to Okular!

Sure, that’s extremely fair! Those qt dependencies are no joke! How do you feel about Evince (apparently now called gnome document viewer)? It seems to be the standard gtk pdf viewer, but I’ve never used it, so I actually don’t know what it’s features are like. It’s a heavier application than mupdf (of course), but at least you don’t need to install qt to use it!

SentientFishbowl OP ,

I’ll have to give it a try! Hopefully not too many dependencies :)

Zathura, although it can be a little challenging to navigate on your first few goes.

Zathura, which is a lot like MuPDF. Press d to toggle the dual page view.

Edit: My bad, just read the part where you said “the option to adjust which 2 pages are displayed”. The dual page view in Zathura will show 2 adjacent pages. When I’ve needed to do that I’ve just opened two Zathura windows. Especially with a tiling WM it’s practically the same feature.

SentientFishbowl OP ,

My use case is a pdf of a book which is meant to be read across two pages - wouldn’t work if it’s displaying pages 1 and 2 together instead of pages 2 and 3, if you see what I’m saying. Does Zathura allow for that?

Zathura always displays odd pages on the right and even pages on the left. Which is how books are conventionally displayed, ie page 1 is typically recto. I don’t think this behaviour can be configured, but if you need pages 2 and 3 displayed together then your book would display correctly in Zathura dual page mode. But if you needed 1 and 2 displayed together I don’t think Zathura can do that unfortunately

SentientFishbowl OP ,

I’ll give it a shot and see if it’s compatible. Cheers
