Evince is a document viewer for PDF, PostScript, DjVu, TIFF and DVI documents for the GNOME desktop environment. In developing the application the aim was to replace the multiple GNOME document viewers with a single and simple application. cite web|url = http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/|title = Evince - Simply a Document Viewer|accessdate = 2008-06-26|last = Gnome.org|authorlink = |year = 2008|month = June]

Evince has been included in GNOME since GNOME 2.12, released on 7 September 2005. It is written mainly in C, with a small part (the code that interfaces with poppler) written in C++.

Released under the GNU General Public License, Evince is free software.

History

Evince began as a rewrite of GPdf, which most people thought was getting unwieldy to maintain. In a short period of time it surpassed the functionality of GPdf. GPdf and GGV, the default Postscript viewer in GNOME, are no longer maintained. cite web|url = http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-June/msg00057.html|title = ggv/gpdf and evince|accessdate = 2008-06-26|last = Villa|first = Louis|authorlink = |year = 2005|month = June]
