Evince is a document viewer capable of displaying multiple document formats. It primarily focuses on PDF, PostScript, DjVu, TIFF, DVI, XPS, and comics (CBR, CBZ, CB7, CBT) files.

Evince aims to be a simple and intuitive application, striving to provide a consistent viewing experience across different document types. It supports features such as zooming, searching, printing, indexing, and handling annotations. Evince is typically pre-installed on many Linux distributions that use the GNOME desktop environment. It leverages the Poppler library for PDF rendering and other libraries for different formats, ensuring accurate and efficient document display.

Evince also has a command-line interface for opening and manipulating documents.

Functionality and supported file types may vary depending on the installed libraries and Evince version.

Evince allows you to print documents through the standard printing system. You can configure various print settings such as page range, orientation, and number of copies.

Evince provides a built-in search function to find specific text within a document. It highlights the search results within the document view.

Evince was created as part of the GNOME desktop environment to provide a modern and unified document viewing experience. It replaced older viewers and aimed to support a wider range of formats. Development continues to improve performance, stability, and format support.
