Ubuntu 25.04 Plans to Preinstall a New PDF Viewer

Ubuntu 25.04 plans to include a new default PDF viewer app. Evince (aka Document Viewer) is the PDF app that comes preinstalled in Ubuntu at present. But next April’s release of Ubuntu 25.04 ‘Plucky Puffin’ could ship with a new app called Papers. Heard of Papers? It’s a modern GTK/libadwaita app to ‘view, search and annotate documents’ saved in a variety of different formats (not only PDF, but PDF is the certainly most ubiquitous in every-day needs). But what’s wrong with Evince? Why is a new app needed to do something similar to the existing one? And why aren’t developers
