I use the down arrow key to scroll through PDF documents in document viewer.
However, when I reach the end of the page it does not scroll to the next page, and stays on the current page. Video: https://www.loom.com/share/6c724012ab9b44d789e1907fba262e44
Is there a way to change this behaviour?
When I look at a PDF of an A4 paper (or US Letter-sized paper), and set the zoom scale to 100%, the paper on the screen looks twice the actual width (42 cm instead of 21 cm). This happens with all PDF files. On the other hand, if I look at the file at 100% using Adobe Reader on Windows, it displays at the correct size. In both cases, my screen is HD at about 100 dpi. Why is evince wrong? Is there a sett ...
I use Neovim to write LaTeX files with the Alacritty terminal. After writing the files I want to preview them with Evince. However, Evince doesn't launch. I don't know why. If I use the default terminal, it works!
In Neovim I use VimTeX or vim-latex-live-preview to preview. Both of them work well in the default terminal but not in Alacritty.
Does anyone know why?
I am currently using Evince Document Viewer Version 3.36.10 on Ubuntu 20.04. When I try to save an annotated pdf, it shows only the Save a copy option. How do I make it overwrite the current file? I have read a few similar questions on this platform but couldn't find any answers. So, is there any way to do it?

Since today, I cannot print PDFs from Evince (Document Viewer) any more. In the "Status" tab of the HP Device Manager, it says "the print job has completed" after a while, but nothing happens. In the "Job Queue" Section of the "Printer Control Tab", the "Status" is "Printing" at first, and then switches to "Stopped". Some observations:

I know there are existing questions about problems with Evince opening links, but this looks like a new error. This is in 21.04 but I think the error is very recent, i.e. the links worked earlier in 21.04. So I started evince from the command line and when I tried to open a link in the document, I got this error:
[205689:205689:0812/101716.420196:FATAL:double_fork_and_exec.cc(131)] execv /opt/googl ...
I want to do something like this extension

Or is there another software for this. I tried Okular but the best I can do is to change black & white color. But that also turn everything into grayscale which I don't want.
With "Allow different sources for each windows", different Input Sources for different windows are saved so you do not have to switch the input source manually for specific windows. But even when you have set up Input Source A in Evince, this is not saved for writing comments within Evince.
I could circumvent this problem by prioritizing Input Source A in the general settings. It seems that for w ...
I ran the software updater today for Ubuntu 18.04. Now evince does not open links in the viewed pdf anymore in my browser (chrome) but gives this error message in the terminal:
[24120:24120:0726/114731.031048:FATAL:double_fork_and_exec.cc(131)] execv /opt/google/chrome/crashpad_handler: Permission denied (13)
Help please? Please?
[EDIT] So it works with the below Libre Office printer dialog, while it is not working with the standard printing dialogue from Ubuntu. Does anyone know about this behavior?
I have a Canon Pixma mx920 inkjet printer. Whenever I try duplex printing in evince, There's only one option, one-sided printing. (The drag down menu doesn't work)

I'm unable to "undo" when I'm editing text in a Document Viewer text annotation.
(e.g. I accidentally deleted some text in the annotation and I want to undo that, like Ctrl+Z
in gedit or Word).
I looked in Keyboard Shortcuts and in Help, but didn't find anything.
I swear I could do that on my old computer...
