Okular with split option to read different page

Brainstorm
1

Hi,

I’m not sure, maybe i dream it, but i thought that Okular get split option (don’t really know the name).
I’m reading tech documentation and need to see 2 different page of that document at same time to avoid going up/down for lot of page. On windows, i used FoxIt reader, but it doesn’t exist on linux and i have some problem using it on wine.

If Okular don’t have split option, do someone know a pdf reader, with tabs for each .pdf, which can do it ?

Thanks in advance,

kate and dolphin have spit views (either side by side or top and bottom) but i thin what you are looking for is something like the freeze view in excel where you can have a separate vertical scroll bar for different parts of the document.

that would be a nice feature.

Split views is not avalaible anymore in okular.

You can:

  1. use konqueror

Hi,

There is a reason why it is not available anymore in okular ?

Using a browser for pdf is little bit too much only for reading pdf, but if no other solution …
The Foxit linux version is from 2015 which is a little bit old. They don’t support it anymore

Thanks for reply.

@skyfishgoo exactly. Looks like no “only” pdf reader do it on linux.
