   Thanks all for the discussion.  Don't stop. :-)   
      
   I've been using Slackware for over 20 years but never beat up   
   SlackBuild, just compiled a source tarball when needed.   
      
   So I'm looking into evince & slackbuild, will try to hunt up other   
   suggested alternatives.   
      
   For the foreseeable future, I'm clinging to the trailing edge of   
   technology with a 32 bit system and other components that I already   
   understand or have become accustomed to.  I'll report back if/when I   
   get a PDF handler that suits me.   
      
   The "Life-long Learning" slogan is supposed to be about learning *new*   
   stuff, pursuing fresh enlightenment for the aging brain, not about   
   learning the same stuff over and over as old stuff gets wrapped in new   
   packaging or exfoliates a huge but unwanted superstructure.  Don't   
   need to learn how to drive and maintain a Winnebago to go the the   
   corner store for milk.
