Xpdf

Xpdf is an open source PDF viewer for the X Window System and Motif.Xpdf runs on practically any Unix-like operating system. Xpdf can decode LZW and read encrypted PDFs. The official version obeys the DRM restrictions of PDF files, which may prevent copying, printing, or converting some PDF files.There are patches which make Xpdf ignore these DRM restrictions.
Xpdf includes several programs that don't require the X Window System, including programs which extract images from PDF files or convert PDF to PostScript or text. These programs run on DOS, Windows as well as Linux and Unix.

KPDF

KPDF is a free PDF reader based on Xpdf. It is integrated with the KDE platform, so it embeds very well in Konqueror as KPart. Feature highlights:
  • Three different ways of searching: find dialog, thumbnail filter and type-ahead find.
  • Capture images and text easily with kpdf by dragging a rectangle around what is desired to be captured.
  • Choosing the default background/text colors, like a CSS style sheet.
  • Ability to add bookmarks to pages.

MuPDF

MuPDF is a lightweight PDF viewer and toolkit written in portable C.
The renderer in MuPDF is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. It renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a pixel for the highest fidelity in reproducing the look of a printed page on screen.
MuPDF has a small footprint. A binary that includes the standard Roman fonts is only one megabyte. A build with full CJK support (including an Asian font) is approximately five megabytes.
MuPDF has support for all non-interactive PDF 1.7 features, and the toolkit provides a simple API for accessing the internal structures of the PDF document. Example code for navigating interactive links and bookmarks, encrypting PDF files, extracting fonts, images, and searchable text, and rendering pages to image files is provided.
