Looks decent, but also appears they tried to hack in a windows look and feel inside a GTK2 interface... ugh..

Scrolling with mouse wheel is weak (lots of turns for little scrolling)...

Otherwise, a lot more pleasing on the eyes than v5, and compatible with stuff of course.

Any reason to use this over xpdf?

Using xpdf is probably unamerican and will land you in jail ;)

Good thing I was never American to begin with, then.

Xpdf looks ugly, is slower, and this has more features. Otherwise, none.
