Just checked portage and the only pdf viewer I see is gspdf (masked)
What others are available and what's being used? |

I use okular. It's a KDE app, though.

Recommended pdf readers from the Gentoo Wiki.
I too prefer KDE's okular but qpdfview is very good and does not require the KDE libraries (it's pure qt). |

Thanks for the wiki link - didn't think of it.
What annoys me is that when I did
I didn't see any viewers - qpdf-view should at least have shown up since it has the requisite PDF in the ebuild name. |

That 'cause you're doing it wrong.
You should be doing a regex search. This works:

I'm a fan of mupdf myself, although since firefox got nice pdf viewing support like chrome/chromium I've been using that instead. |
