A minimalistic PDF viewer with ergonomic keyboard shortcuts, bookmarks and annotations.
When run forwarded over ssh -X, incorrect rendering at first run (see bug report).
I don't know how to fix this...

Bookmarks for the file filename.pdf (or just fielname) are stored in the XML file filename.pdq;
the file is created when you add a new bookmarks (press a), or just open the bookmarks manager (press Ctrl-b).
It lists bookmarks with charhints (a,b,c,d,...). Pressing the corresponding
letter navigates to that bookmarked page. Pressing the letter with Shift
(as if a capital letter) removes that bookmark.
Right click with mouse on the place where you want to place the anchor. The dialog for entering annotation will pop up.
