Evince and Okular are both open-source PDF viewers for Linux operating systems. They provide navigation features like bookmarks and search, allow annotation tools for PDF documents and support some other document formats besides PDF.
But Evince (released in 2004) focuses primarily on minimalistic design and ease of use and limited to fewer annotation features compared to Okular. It's developed by the GNOME project, originating from the GNOME desktop environment and is used in GNOME-based Linux distributions.
Okular (2005) offers a wider range of annotation tools and advanced features, supports a broader array of document formats beyond PDFs, including ePub and comic book formats. It's developed by the KDE project (part of the KDE Applications suite) and integrates with KDE Plasma desktop environment.
