Excerpts from Hans Ekbrand's message of Tue Aug 09 17:12:25 -0600 2011:
I'm on debian, and tried out the different pdf-viewers available there. I liked zathura best, it's new and has a few bugs, but renders pages fast and works well in "fullscreen" managed by xmonad. zathura is my primary pdf-viewer now.
Not sure if your xpdf is xpdf-poppler or xpdf the original, venerable ancient, but I've had no problems with xpdf-poppler (often called xpdf just to confuse matters.) So it's worth a try if you liked xpdf better than zathura. If you're vim oriented apvlv is very nice. I've never used the pre -1.1 versions, but there is an earlier version is in stable, and a nearly current version in testing and experimental. Regards, wmw
