KPDF - View and Print PDF files

KPDF was written for KDE 3 and was one of the earliest Free, Open Source Applications to successfully view and print PDF files.

Features Highlights

Multi-mode searching - the usual facility to search from the Find dialog is there of course, but you can also use the filter box above the thumbnails to find pages containing that text. Typing "/" then some text will start type-ahead searching
Auto-scrolling - activate by the default keys (Shift+Up and Shift+Down) or by shortcut keys to your taste.

Images with alpha
With Accessibility colors
