About:
Xpdf is a viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. (These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from the name of Adobe's PDF software.) The Xpdf project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other utilities. It runs under the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems, and should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler. Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient. It can use Type 1 and TrueType fonts.

Widgetless option?
by DaniHebb - Jan 25th 2008 06:20:50
Xpdf is a great viewer. It is fast and easily configurable. I only wonder
if there is a way to suppress the widgets (scrollbars and toolbars) so that
the pdf document covers the whole window (i.e., something similar to what
the --widgetless option in gv does, but without the pagebar).

Linux athlonbox 2.6.6 #1 Sun Jun 12 18:47:44 EST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux

What sort of problem are you seeing?
If you're getting scrambled text, the problem is that Xpdf 3.00 doesn't
work correctly with FreeType 2.1.8 and newer -- they changed the way CID
font encodings are handled. The upcoming Xpdf 3.01 release will fix that
problem.

Motif
by Wolfpack Entertainment - Oct 25th 2004 19:59:42
It apparently needs Motif and Motif isn't free. (and there are no packages
for my system).

OpenMotif is available (in source
form) for any open source OS.
Alternatively, LessTif is available
under the LGPL.
