Pdf reader should've these features:
1) Tabbed:
i.e it should be able to open multiple tabs in same window. Even when I select 10 files at once in a folder and press enter, all of them should open in same window.
2) Persistent:
ie it should remember last opened pdfs and last page. At the very least, remember the last pdfs opened.
Firefox does it, but Reading pdfs in firefox is somewhat not what I like to do.
Okular consumes too much memory and hangs the system (Dell inspiron i5 5567 8GB RAM, 1TB Hard disk). I've used it only once though, then uninstalled it as it caused hang.
I tried qpdfview, it was great except it didn't do 2)Persistent.
I've tried mupdf,zathura etc. They don't support any tabs.
I can't imagine how such a huge Operating System, can't have a single pdf reader that does these two things? IMO these aren't very complex softwares to build.
Firefox alternative should've these features:
1) Scrolling:
Scrolling should be smooth like in firefox. I tried imwheel, chrome extensions etc in Chromium and Chrome browsers, nothing worked. They are miserable browsers in linux.
2) Zooming:
Zooming should be possible by touchpad in laptop.
That's all I want and the sad thing is that I'm not even getting them. I'm really surprised (tbh not, when everything is free, this is bound to happen). It's real paining me.
I've tried Vivaldi as well. It's the same s*** as Chrome.
I'm in urgent situation, where I'm giving my exam in 1 week, all my studies come from laptop, so I can't even do anything else(try something crazy).
