I personally use mupdf. Lightweight, operates with simple, Vim-like hotkeys. But Evince had one thing mupdf doesn't: A print function. A lot of times a PDF that won't print right just by saying lpr -P myprinter mypdf.pdf will print just fine if printed from Evince. Based on your recommendation, I just installed Atril, and can confirm that it, too, has a print function. So now, between mupdf and Atril, I have pretty much all my bases covered. Thanks!
