I started working on testing all of the GTK3 based WLX PDF viewer plugins available.
I will make a post for each of them to share things I noticed if anyone is interested.
wlxwebkit_gtk3This is the pdf viewer plugin that I would probably use, although I have not successfully been able to try any of the others yet.
Features:
-This surprisingly has a ton of features in its toolbar
-Has a sidebar!
-General hotkeys work
-Can search
-You can even draw on your pdfs if you want to:)
Possible Issues If Interested:
-On an SSD, feels a little slow to load up each pdf so it can cause a very flashy blank pdf pane effect when navigating through pdf files.
Probably not but if loading speed can be improved in any way, would be worth it.
-The left page number field/also shows loading wheel when pdfs are opened, the bottom of the field rectangle visually goes beyond the bottom of the toolbar, into the pdf pane itself
-There is slight motion/animation feel when you use UP/DOWN arrows but especially noticeable when using PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN
not sure if there is a way to turn this off?
Possible Updates If Interested:
-If possible allow for mouse scroll wheel on
page number field
zoom % field
Thank you to anyone who reads this
