About Evince
Evince is a document viewer from the GNOME project that opens PDF, PostScript and several other document formats. It was created to replace the multiple separate document viewers that once existed on the GNOME desktop with a single simple application.
It suits Linux users who want a straightforward reader for documents rather than a full PDF editor. Evince is free software under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, developed on GNOME's GitLab.
