I use Evince on Debian, where it came prepackaged with my Xfce
desktop. It identifies itself as "GNOME Document Viewer 3.14.1",
leaving me wondering if the next version would be 3.14.12 in
Knuth-style numbering, but that's beside the point. Copying and
pasting works perfectly from some documents, and imperfectly from
others. Notably, it seems sometimes to be completely unaware of
columns, and copy and paste text straight across the page, which
leaves me staring at "zombie Ring Gates" and other gems. But it's
generally good enough for my purposes.
