I just yum installed zathura in F-18/64/XFCE. It appears to run but displays a blank form with only [No name] at the bottom left.

Perhaps it wont work with XFCE?
It's sort of "mispackaged". You need to install the zathura-pdf-poppler package, too. The zathura package description mentions that "plugins" are used, but is describes Zathura as PDF viewer although by default it cannot displays PDF, because the pdf-poppler plugin is not installed.
Description : Zathura is a highly configurable and functional PDF viewer based on the Poppler rendering library and the GTK+ toolkit. The idea behind zathura is an application that provides a minimalist and space saving interface as well as an easy usage that mainly focuses on keyboard interaction.
Zathura uses plugins to open different file formats, for instance:
- zathura-pdf-poppler to open PDF files,
- zathura-ps to open PostScript files,
- zathura-djvu to open DjVu files.
All of these are available in Fedora.
I also found configuration confusing earlier, but the following helped me get there (as per my notes on my zathurarc in my $HOME/.config/zathura/zathurarc
# http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man5/zathurarc.5.html # # see also http://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/configuration/ # and http://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/options/ # as well as http://pwmt.org/projects/girara/options/
Example: set window-height 1150 set window-width 887 set adjust-open width
map <Home> goto top map <End> goto bottom map <PageUp> scroll full-up map <PageDown> scroll full-down map <BackSpace> scroll full-up map r rotate rotate-cw map c rotate rotate-ccw
--=
One thing I was not able to find is how to get a NextPage key-binding using the PageDown which does not also impact the Spacebar (which by default only pages down the screen, which I would like to keep).
