About:
Papers is a modern document viewer designed specifically for the GNOME desktop environment. It provides a clean, intuitive interface for reading PDF, PostScript, and other common document formats. Its primary value is seamless integration with the GNOME ecosystem, offering features like document annotation, text search, and bookmark management.
Key Features:
  • Seamless GNOME desktop integration (GTK4, Libadwaita)
  • Support for PDF, DVI, PS, and TIFF formats
  • Annotation tools and bookmark management
  • Text search and page navigation
  • CUPS printing support
Use Cases:
  • Viewing and reading PDF documents on Linux desktops
  • Annotating and highlighting text in research papers
  • Managing a library of digital documents with bookmarks
Alternatives:
  • Evince – Evince is the default GNOME viewer; Papers is a fork focusing on a more modern UI and extended annotation features.
  • Okular – Okular (KDE) offers more format support and features but lacks native GTK4/Libadwaita integration.
