Zathura is a free, plugin-based document viewer. It currently has plugins available for PDF, PostScript, and DjVu. It was written to be lightweight and controlled with vim-like keybindings. Zathura's customizability makes it well-liked by many Linux users[2].

Zathura has a mature, well-established codebase and a large development team[3]. It has official packages available in Arch linux[4], Debian[5], Fedora[6], Gentoo[7], Ubuntu[8], OpenBSD[9], and Mac OS X[10].

Zathura was named after the film of the same name.[citation needed]

Features

Zathura automatically reloads documents. When working in compiled documents such as those written in LaTeX, Zathura will refresh the output whenever compilation takes place. Zathura has the option of enabling inverse search (using "synctex")[11][12].

Zathura can adjust the document to best-fit or to fit width, and it can rotate pages. It can view pages side-by-side and has a fullscreen mode. Pages can also be recolored to have a black background and white foreground.

Zathura can search for text and copy text to the primary X selection. It supports bookmarks and can open encrypted files.

The behavior and appearance of Zathura can be customised using a configuration file. Zathura has the ability to execute external shell commands. It can be opened in tabs using tabbed.
