xpdf has been the only PDF viewer that is light enough
to be usable remotely(*).  I wish it's maintained rather
than abandoned.

(*)I log in to my workstation at my workplace from home
and invoke xpdf:  For example,

  home$ ssh -X work.example.com
  . . . log in to "work" . . .
  work$ xpdf mydoc.pdf &
  work$

okular and acroread are so slow that it's utterly
impossible to use remotely.
(I've never used evince or epdfview.)
