Features
~~~~~~~~

* Versatile View widget with many optional mixin classes to cater for
  anything between basic or powerful functionality

  large PDF documents remains fast and smooth
* Almost infinite zooming thanks to tile-based rendering and caching
* Magnifier glass
* Printing functionality, directly to cups or via Qt/QPrinter
* Can display pages originating from different documents at the same time
* Can show the difference between pages that are almost the same via
  color composition
