    <para>
      <application>Evince</application> is a document viewer for multiple
      document formats. It supports PDF, Postscript, DjVu, TIFF and DVI.
      It is useful for viewing documents of various types using one simple
      application instead of the multiple document viewers that once existed
      on the <application>GNOME</application> Desktop.
