Free alternatives to proprietary PDF readers now easy to find


I suppose we all have come across that “red button” on websites asking you to download Acrobat Reader to read a PDF document. Even free for download, it still is a proprietary solution and in no way a Free Software tool.

Now, my friends at the Free Software Foundation Europe have been busy working on a website to propose alternative readers for all OS platforms: pdfreaders.org. And it seems that there is only one alternative package running on all operating systems: Okular 🙂 Another proof that KDE is “The Universal Desktop”.

Don’t forget to use the buttons provided for your websites: pdfreaders.org There are other models in the “Graphics” part of the website.

Update: if you want to get in touch with the authors of pdfreaders.org, you can drop them a mail with this link.
