Yes, you look at the pictures because you can't read. Copy that.

Xpdf and qpdfview are libraries, any advantage of zathura is obvious to
anyone who would be stupid enough to try to use them to view a pdf.

And epdfview is long dead, even before being finish. So the advantages
of a well done tool over an unfinished dead tool are obvious to anyone
except you. Just the continuous scrolling is a big advantage. I know: as
you can't read, you can't understand that argument.

Nobody never follows any advice from you. They are so stupid that even
you don't follow your own advices.
