I personally use mupdf. Lightweight, operates with simple, Vim-like
hotkeys.

But Evince had one thing mupdf doesn't: A print function. A lot of
times a PDF that won't print right just by saying lpr -P myprinter
mypdf.pdf will print just fine if printed from Evince.

Based on your recommendation, I just installed Atril, and can confirm
that it, too, has a print function. So now, between mupdf and Atril, I
have pretty much all my bases covered.

Thanks!
