while sumatrapdf

I have to admit that I often think to a context pdf viewer, and mupdf
seems the right candidate.
Under ubuntu 64bit 12.04 xpdf doesn't work, acroreader is still 9 32 bit
(so I use wine acroreader 11)
evince is ok, probably also okular.
A context pdf viewer should be like sumatrapdf at least --- so in the end
I also installed sumatrapdf.exe under linux .
Now that I have done a luatex binding for mupdf,
if we have a minimal GUI toolkit cross platform (but really minimal)
it's possible to build a pdfviewer in luatex
If you’re serious about this, the Zathura guys have a separate
interface library based on GTK [1]. Having some (any) Lua
capability inside a pdf viewer would indeed be nice.
FYI: After Luigi and I have wrapped up the projects "swiglib"
(libraries) and "speed-up-luatex" projects we will start our
"lua-in-pdf-viewer" exploration (after all pdf permits additional
annotations) ... and we need challenges.
