    <title>Introduction to ePDFView-gtk3</title>

    <para>
      <application>ePDFView-gtk3</application> is a fork of the old
      <application>ePDFView</application> program. Although the github repository
      <ulink url="https://github.com/Flow-It/epdfview_old.git"/>  names it as
      'old' it is indeed the gtk3 fork. It is a lightweight replacement for
      <application>Evince</application> as it does not rely upon
      <application>GNOME</application> libraries and is more capable than
      <application>MuPDF</application>.

        ePDFView-gtk3 has several toggles for optional features, most are
        'off' by default, including the toolbar, and if it has been closed with
         the menu disabled the program can start with all options not visible
         until the relevant function-key toggles are pressed.
