    Okular requires a big installation and KDE libraries, which are fine if you use KDE, but I don't.

    I don't understand this argument. On Windows and Mac you install apps which come statically built against tens of libraries and you're fine with it.

    Yet on Linux, it's such a big deal if an app uses a few libraries (which are reused by tens of different apps).

    It's called Okular. You just have some stigma against installing a few megabytes of libraries.
