A while back I tried every .pdf viewer I could find for Linux and found Okular
to the best.  That said it still falls short using it to display sheet music
.pdf's at the piano.  This is something professional musicians are using an
iPad for quite frequently.   Okular has two major weaknesses that preclude ease
of use for a performing musician.   Touch needs to be improved in the
Presentation mode.  It needs an easier way to move back and forth on the pages.
 It moves forward easily, but going back to page 1 is difficult.  The wheel in
the upper right hand corner is just to small to use accurately.  It would be
nice if you could tap the page on the left side, and it would go back one page.
 Now with a mouse it works just fine.  Left click moves the page forward, and
Right Click moves the page back.  A pianist needs to be able to quickly just
touch the screen to go either forward or backward in the score.  A mouse is
impractical at the piano.  There are some pedals that might do it, but a change
in the software seems less expensive and more practical.  Extra equipment
should not be needed simply to turn pages.  Actually the wheel does work, but
again it's too small for accurate quick sure footed navigation.  Secondly there
needs to be a side py side page view in presentation mode.  This is the
cleanest mode and most legible because the document can be nearly as large as
the screen.   Computer screens have become wider and less tall.  I have a very
nice Dell 2 in 1 but it is rather heavy.  In the sideways view is is very heavy
on the music desk and also rather unstable.  The best and most practical
position would be with the screen folded back, but in the normal wide view
position with two pages displayed simultaneously.  I request this a couple of
years ago and was blown off, but the developers need to wise up and implement
these requests as they are sorely needed by Linux advocates who are also
professional musicians.
