What does "images" mean in supported file formats? Tiff is also an image format and is named separately while JPEG, GIF and PNG (all very likely to be supported) are not mentioned at all.


 * Yes, TIFF is an image format, but it is also a multipage document format like PDF or DjVu.
 * I have the following Ubuntu .deb packages installed: okular-kde4 and okular-extra-backends-kde4.
 * The main package description states that it includes support for:
 * PostScript (PS)
 * Portable Document Format (PDF)
 * OpenDocument format (ODF)
 * TeX Device independent file format (DVI)
 * various electronic book formats
 * The extra package description states that it includes support for:
 * Microsoft Compiled HTML Help (CHM)
 * Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)
 * DjVu scanned page format
 * A look at the "open" dialogue in Okular shows me the following list of formats:
 * XPS document
 * Plucker document
 * Windows BMP image
 * DirectDraw surface
 * EPS image
 * GIF image
 * ICO image
 * JPEG image
 * MNG animation
 * PBM image
 * PCX image
 * PGM image
 * PNG image
 * PPM image
 * PSD image
 * RGB image
 * TGA image
 * TIFF image
 * XBM image
 * GIMP image
 * XPM image
 * PS document
 * EPS image
 * PostScript document (gzip-compressed)
 * PostScript document (bzip-compressed)
 * DjVu image
 * ODT document
 * TIFF image
 * PDF document
 * PDF document (gzip-compressed)
 * PDF document (bzip-compressed)
 * comic book archive
 * comic book archive
 * TeX DVI document
 * TeX DVI document (gzip-compressed)
 * TeX DVI document (bzip-compressed)
 * CHM dcoument
 * There are some redundancies there. — Chameleon 06:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, there are not. The only entry you find twice is “comic book archive”. There are two different of them. It’s just a bug, that the labels are equal. -- 129.13.164.134 (talk) 13:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Can be run in GNOME?
This is not an obvious fact, as Okular is dependent on libraries within KDE. However, I have not ruled out the possibility that it can be made to run on GNOME. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.180.189.8 (talk) 04:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, done that, had fun. Okular runs without any problems on gnome.--Baruch ben Alexander - ☠☢☣ 03:38, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Provided, that your package manager has installed all the libs needed to run okular, which of course includes kde libs. A thing, that any decent and indecent package manager does, btw.--Baruch ben Alexander - ☠☢☣ 01:21, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Not cross-plattform
There's no okular for windoze, nor for mac or any other os' than *nix. --Baruch ben Alexander - ☠☢☣ 03:38, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * As part of KDE, Okular does run on Windows and Mac, it's just not very common on these plattforms. See here and here — DataWraith (talk) 11:28, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, requiring to install KDE on a non-Linux system is not cross-platform. Just like the fact that you can run some application within Cygwin does not make it cross-platform. -- intgr [talk] 14:00, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It only requires the KDE libraries to run. This is no different to any other application requiring any other DLL. The application itself is compiled natively and is a proper Windows application. The lack of a stand-alone installer does not diminish its cross-platform nature. --Milliams (talk) 13:36, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
